sidewinder


I've been working on the "Sidewinder" drawing lately. This series is taking me to places that I normally might not go. I'm learning and becoming somewhat familiar with all types of weaponry, finding websites that fight to eliminate militarism and sites that display resolve and pride in the purpose and value of these weapons. I am clearly on the side of those who wish to eliminate violence and military activity, but it is really fascinating to travel to "the other side" and get that perspective. The arguments for both sides can sometimes be compelling. I feel that after I have completed this series of drawings that I will have my "argument" firmly in place.
