Don't Mess with Cops...

Seems things are changing drastically regarding freedom of speech in our beautiful country of milk and honey.
After Rap bands being sued for lyrics dealing in bad terms with the national police forces, it's time for a cartoonist to meet the justice for a drawing depicting a cop face with a strangely looking pig nose.
No big deal you may think, but it raises some interesting questions for the years to come: Who will guard the guardians? Are we quiting a fake democracy to enter a soft dictatorship?

Exposure

This illustration had been recycled for the cover of the cultural news magazine Kiblind, which is printed at 10000 copies and which can be found for free in many trendy places in our lovely city of Lyon. A city which claims to value arts and culture but where the people don't know how to party until 6 a.m. ... Before going to sleep, there's the possibility to download a pdf version of the mag there . Good Night.

Another variation on the same image, how to make those stupid bears fit in a "punk" looking image. trying to re-create the cheap cut and paste feel while using a computer...

Graphite and acrylic on paper, sizes approximatively 80 by 120 centimeters, done back in 1998, original got lost. Doesn't matter anyway... by the way, i was not completely satisfied by that drawing. Just check how the legs are attached to the hips...
