"Here’s a new screen print that is based on an art piece from my “Future Mosaic” art show. My philosophy has always been that violence is the first resort of the weak-minded. The January 6th attack on the Capitol was the inspiration for this image but, unfortunately, there are plenty of other examples of small-minded violence. I would like to see people use diplomacy and creativity to find mutually beneficial solutions to problems rather than using violence as the first reaction to conflict. Proceeds go to Defending Rights and Dissent to support their efforts on strengthening our participatory democracy by protecting the right to political expression. " -Shepard
