Happy 4th of July 2016!!

I Was gonna go simple, but then I decided to exercise my freedom of expression. Expressing the idea of independence on a global scale beyond these specific borders. The kind where positive ideals flourish over negative ones. No matter how much we hate opinions, at the end of the day, you always have the universal right to choose. When I made this piece, Originally it was gonna be either Ironman in the Iron Patriot outfit, or Captain America. But I personally wanted stray from those established characters due to the amount of recycling used. And personally, at least for this blog, I wanted to stay away from established characters when it came to my art. 

 I kind of put in a lot of thought about all the things that plague America, and then I thought about how those same problems plague the world outside and beyond on a more universal scale. SO I decided to list all of those issues. I kinda went a little David Mack/ Frank Miller sorta in terms of design and graphic imagery with hand written texts going all over the place with a flurry of convoluted colors.

 I then wrote the following that humanity needs to be independent from regardless of how locked in the cycle we all are. :

Independence from Evil Politicians, Extremist Groups, Hate Crime Groups, Secret Societies, War Mongers, Yellow Journalism, Evil Cults, Monopoly Corporations, Puppet Masters, Oppression, and corrupt Bank Systems.  Because so often these are the shackles that tie humanity down to it's knees. Especially in a lot of countries and while the extremes may be varied , the common thread of these systems of oppression and hate are consistently seen throughout the world. But we can never let that dominate our rights and liberties to express, protect, educate, preserve, persevere, and do what is right in kindness and preserve the acts of kindness. It's easier said than done to look at ourselves as heroes, when every country has their fair share of blood and tragedy that has been inflicted onto each other as well as inflicted onto their own peoples. DO what's right. DO good, spread positivity, and outshine the vicious, barbaric, sadistic cycles that plague humanity. WHether the act is gargantuan or minor, keep inspiring the good in people. Happy 4th of July, Independence Day, for America and Beyond. - Anthony Andujar Jr
