People in prison drawing people who should be
For over a year, we asked people in prison to paint or draw people we felt should be in prison–the CEOs of companies destroying our environment, economy, and society.
Here are the results. Click on the images to see the crimes committed by both the companies and the artists.
We present this project to help expose crimes masquerading as commerce.
