"These drawings are manifestations of self-education on the subjects of U.S. military interventions, geography, politics, history, cartography, and the language of war...The drawings are also a means to educate others. I make them beautiful to seduce the viewer so that she will take a closer look, read the accompanying information that explains the horror beneath the surface." inspiration and information sais the artist is from many sources, but especially from William Blum’s book, Killing Hope – U.S. Military and CIA Interventions since W.W.II.
