Description

I drew this back in August, in light of the Ferguson protests. Now, I won't discuss the controversial tragedy, but I think we can all agree that it's wrong to attack (and in one case kill) people who mean you no harm and without provocation. Anyways, I was going to color this digitally, but in the end decided that I liked it the way it was.

Saddest part of this drawing is that this wonderful talented artist ended up being murdered herself by someone that did not know her or have any reason to harm her! 4-17-15 Soleil-Radieux was murdered. She was arriving to work as she does every night and two girls ran up to her for help saying some men were chasing them...she loaned them her cell phone to call their father and then a car pulled up and a young 15 year old "bully with a gun" got out of car and pulled his gun out and just started shooting and murdered my Sunshine in minutes her life was ended! Pray for justice and for bullies to be stopped before they get guns!
