Ten Prosecuted Whistleblowers

"People don’t want artists to simply make stuff. They want artists to be committed to an art that conveys a profound purpose. So my answer to that challenge is to make art that is the most cool, hip, relevant in the world. I am capturing the future. There is no room for nostalgia here, and no art therapy. I want to change the current political paradigm for the better, to put a ding in the universe. People want to be a part of my art because it makes them feel a certain way. They trust me. My art is authentic. And it doesn’t ever let you down.

But who are you? You abhor the corrupting influence of private wealth in politics because you know that it writes laws used to disenfranchise the poor. This is the core definition of class warfare waged by the acquisitive wealthy against the poor, ownerless classes. In this collection of outstanding works of socially responsible art, I chose to spotlights ten strong and committed individuals who attempted to improve society's politics with good deeds. I have tried to distill the most important ideas espoused by each prosecuted whistleblower. By these works, I pay them homage."
