corn in colors

I have been working on coloring drawings in Photoshop, and despite the fact that the color profiles are the same between my different adobe programs, taking it from doing type layout in Illustrator to photoshop annihilates the colors. Then I save it for the web, as a GIF, which brings imageready into the mix, which twists the colors around again. So, whatever, here's a poster with different-than-originally-planned colors.


And here is a drawing of some men in hats

not teeth. (larger than teeth)

A comic! They are not teeth (which is feedback that I have gotten from a few people I've showed this to so far), they are a country and an international organization. This is pretty much goes out to the IPE majors out there.
Enjoy!

A lot of this comic is based on an article by Reed Lindsay from the Nation that came out on June 2nd. Here's a link, but I guess you only get to look at the start of the article if you don't subscribe. I read it at my local library. The article is called "Haiti on the Death Plan," the 'Death Plan' being many Haitians' name for the government's liberal economic policy.

Here are a few highlights from the article:
  • More than 4.5 million Haitians spend more than half their income on food, and there has been rioting and strong public response to the increase in food prices over the last year.(p 22)
  • Haiti is one of the most economically liberal countries in Latin America. (p 24)
  • Their newly elected president has promised more food aid and has gotten rice prices to drop, but does not seem to plan on changing the economic policy of keeping inflation low no matter what. (p 24)
