I love how you have done this. The concept is great, and so are the colours. It would make a good print for a child's nursery too.

Nice.
Thank you for your drawing- I'm going to buy that magazine- I have been discriminated multiple times. My mother even got used to it. So sad.

Ur poor Mum.
Why can't all the fucking stupid, racist, uneducated people in the World just accept that EVERYONE IS EQUAL. Fucking arsholes.
It's 2007, that's two THOUSAND and seven. Not fucking 1807, or 1907, or even 1957. 2007. It gets really tiresome doesn't it. I fuckin hate racists. They're all just a bunch of fucking c@#ts.

Hey, I loved it. It means a lot to me this work.
It makes us think, it's revolution, but it doesn't scare who's seeing it for the first time.
Congratulations!!

This is so immediately relevant to modern life it takes you by suprise. The use of a child's toy to illustrate the abstraction that is discrimination is amazingly powerful.

I love it, the image itself is simple and anyone can understand the important message underneath it.

Truly inspiring piece and sadly enough its true. In California, or I should say parts, they use racial profiling for hiring purposes but once a minority is hired within the company, no matter how long they were with a company, are currently with a company, or how much experience they have acquired, they will never be promoted or even offered a promotion. There wages top out and just a few more bucks than they were hired at which is usually no more than minimum wage. I see it everyday in the company I work for and with the company I used to work for. It really is irritating. Corporate white America is just lining there pockets and shaking hands with the back door dealers in our government. One day it will blow up in there faces, I truly believe it, and I can't wait to see it come crumbling down.
This is an amazing piece and it got my fire going, so many thanks for sharing.

Awww, poor semicircle. Semicircle is like one of my favourite shapes.

like who wants to go in that lammme box anyway. looks all the other dudes are havin a good time chillin and just hangin around outside the box, thats where the party's at. ol whitey is crammed into a space that he cant even move in, talkin to nobody. i bet hes facing the inside of the box too.

I love this. We had the exact same problem in the old South Africa, and now its the total opposite. 'Pale Males' just don't get jobs. Will this world ever find its balance?

the white triangle might be a little tooooooo suggestive.
but probably for good reason.

the woodgrain is fabulously realistic! that's a job well done! A for technique, A+ for the concept. It is subtle, but effective.. and makes you think about what you're trying to convey without hitting you with it like a cold dead fish.. (aka.. painfully obvious)

Nice concept, I especially appreciate how the light highlights on the blocks were done.
