Greetings, everyone
Jake Parker came up with an idea for this #Inktober2020. He called it #Inktober52 (one drawing every week).
I want to embark in this new drawing adventure as a way to keep myself motivated and learn from the real artists. I will also be posting my drawing on Instagram and Twitter.
Here's the process:
The first prompt made me think about two very serious events happening right now. I wanted to combine the two crises on one drawing that might represent the paradox of human existence.
On the one hand, we are on the verge of global war. We have developed countries boasting and bragging about their destructive toys, investing billions of dollars a year to perfect destructive machinery, while we are unable or unwilling to develop technology to help us put off fires before they destroy people and lands.
Australia has been burning for months now and I have not still seen a massive global mobilization to help extinguish those fires.
Millions of animals have died and more die by the minute while billions of dollars are wasted every minute on human
vanity and power struggles.
My heart goes out to the people and animals who are suffering this horrendous tragedy and I wish crises like this one would teach humanity to show more solidarity and employ all the human talent and resources towards making sure this does not happen again, at least to this level.
Before we explore outer space or develop weapons capable of killing massive amounts of people in record time, should we not have technology capable of putting off fires in record time, or guaranteeing food production, or curing cancer?
Thanks for your visit
