This was done for an assignment I no longer remember the guidelines for. This was in the Introduction to Photoshop class at OSU that every Art Major was required to take. It wasn’t the instructor’s fault that some of us were qualified to teach the class. I’m no Photoshop God, but I could do this intro stuff in my sleep. Conveniently, this meant I could try to make something meaningful without the technical aspects being an obstacle.

Seven months and some change after Bush II’s declared war on my birthday, it was becoming fairly clear to everyone involved that the war wasn’t going quite how we’d been promised it would. This image was my reaction to the situation. My instructor told me I should submit it to AdBusters, but I never got around to it then, and I imagine the subject it pretty well done to death by now.
