These signs are found and seen everywhere but only few people stop and question their meaning. This is because day after day we are barraged with distractions through multiple sources. We are the children of a system that wants to keep their citizens asleep. In ancient Rome, Caesar came up with the gladiator games in the Coliseum to distract the citizens from the poverty and political issues. In today society we have TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and the internet doing the same job the Coliseum games did for Caesar. We boast of freedom when we are kept under surveillance 24/7. We choose leaders although they are just a front to cover the real rulers. We are brought up in a educative system that makes us drones that work for a society that doesn't have its citizens as their main priority. We are trying to raise scholars but we barrage them with debt to force them to work and put aside their individual dreams. Our leaders use words like THEM to psychologically separate us from people that have more similarities with us than what we have with our filthy rich leaders. We are victims of privately owned media that uses scare tactics to make us give our freedom in exchange for false security. We are the pawns of this chess game we call society. We the working class, the students, the moms, the dads and even the grandparents are the expendable ones. But everything will be ok because Drake has a new song!

I rather not. You can commission me for a new design but all of these are copyrighted and I can lease them if you wish.

You my friend are a thinker... People need to question these signs... I'm going to start expanding my company and would love to involve an open minded artist like yourself... Well it was nice running into you and hope to collaborate in the near future.

i think as well as you, but you must be very careful, becouse those signs means a lot of things different from country to country, not everybody is so powerfull, but you have a point and its valid, theres people very powerfull who make a living selling guns, provoquing wars on every country, theres people who makes a lot of money with tv and the media, theres people who makes money selling people, making woman a product to be bougth, polluting the earth in search of gold, diamonds, they say water will be the next resource who will make wars, at the end we canot say what the hell is going on, men, but i sure you, a sign cant be something to blame, but you must see not everybody is equal, not to blame, somethig you dont understand, is more complicated, but i asure you, that everybody is very worry about the path humanity is taken. but you have a really good point, and i like it. is good to see it men, keep it up. you have a good point and noone has a truth, but what is truth is that theres is a lot of problems that we must demand. i canot tell more

Feelings, too similar to my own, your ideas in art, are very similar to my own aswell. Sir, I say, Don't we have the power for change, can't our art be our voice?

I personally think we can change ourselves and the way we react to these signs, but i dont think any major change in society can be made unless everyone or at least the majority wants the change. and yes my art is my voice but it is only as effective as number of people that listens to it.

yeah, but, honestly, your art sticks, the kind of shit I THINK people WANT to see. I listen and I speak too. I know that it's hard to take me seriously, but i think that something like a group of young great artist will be something that gets attention. I feel a renaissance coming, as will the future. I know you want a name, one that lots of people know, why not try? I want to try...
