about the piece

This image is ink on clayboard with digital color added. I’m a long time political cartoonist on the editorial board of World War 3 Illustrated Magazine, an arts collective that was founded in 1979 in New York City. I am a teacher of immigrant students, the wife of an immigrant, the descendant of immigrants. ICE must be stopped, Trump must be stopped, and the systems that created these injustices must be abolished. It’s our job as artists to fight for a just society.
