Shepard Fairey Piece of the Day: Ebony magazine commissioned street artist Shepard Fairey (of Obeyand HOPE fame) to create artwork of the late Trayvon Martin to accompany a piece in this month’s issue. Fairey writes:
I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.

The public outcry portion can be seen from the protesters images in his hoodie. We like that touch.
There are far too many words than can be said.
I can appreciate this, both his work and his words.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4i385bWvC1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

It occurred to me as I was driving my brothers dirty car that a lot about me may come from my slightly possessive nature. I know that sounds kinda bad, but let me explain. I tend to have a my thing, my place, my friend type of attitude. Although I understand that I must share, I tend to think of things as mine or my territory. I take care of my things because they are mine, cause I don’t want them to go away, and cause it is my responsibility to do so. I take care of my stuff just like I take care of my friends, my neighborhood, my planet. This would be bad if I got a little overboard but I think that is where humility and common sense kick in.
In contrast, there is my brother. Although I can’t be certain on how possessive he is, a lot of his nature is completely the opposite of mine. He doesn’t take care of anything. His room, his car, anything he touches, all go to shit. It is quite perplexing because he still has to use them. But I guess that’s just his nature, use it, break it, throw it away. Seems very odd to me. He even doesn’t recycle, not a fuck given.
For a long time I haven’t had a good relationship with him. I just don’t like the guy. But, I guess we are just really different people and I need to try better to understand him. But where I am a really nice guy, he’s kind of a dick. O well.
Yesterday
was a good day. Things worked out well. Had dinner with a friend that I haven’t seen in a looooong time. The pizza was delicious but it burned me, even after my friend warned me. Got some studying done. Things are good. About to get to the top of the roller coaster. It’s gonna be a rush all month.
As a man that appreciates cuteness, I must post this. Found this online yesterday.
Just trying to keep the drive in myself right now going. If I am dedicated to this craft I will keep pushing. Saw this and wanted to share.
