“Justice” Art Print, Released by Spoke Art at New York Comic Convention
I’m very proud to announce my newest art piece, “Justice” which I’ve made especially for release at Spoke Art Gallery’s appearance in New York City at the New York Comic Con.
“Justice” is the sister print to “Equity,” which Spoke Art released earlier this year at the Chicago Comic Con. The pair of art prints of “Equity” and “Justice” are related in theme, as they are related in their release through Spoke Art at two of the country’s largest comic and art conventions.
Both art prints – “Equity” and “Justice” – are inspired by The Orphic Hymns, “Equity” and “Justice.” The Orphic Hymns are at the foundation of the ancient Greek religion, as it was practiced during the Golden Age, at that civilization’s height, during it’s struggle to begin to define democracy, art, science, and reason.
As an artist who struggles for social justice through my work and through my actions, I firmly believe that without Equality, there will be no Justice. And so I set about to portray both ideas as figurative art pieces that share a similar atmosphere and design. Justice gazes at you bravely, head tilted slightly to communicate empathy, and turned ever so subtly to the left, tracking you with her eyes.
I am doing my best to portray an attitude of bravery, and engaging the viewer with it. The woman is portrayed as an equal, unashamed and brave.
Spoke Art Gallery will be making a release of “Justice” at New York Comic Con, booth #607. For details of the Spoke Art appearance at NYCC and print releases click HERE.

Here is the Orphic Hymn this piece was inspired by:
LXI.
TO JUSTICE.
THE piercing eye of Justice bright, I sing,
Plac’d by the throne of heav’n’s almighty king,
Perceiving thence, with vision unconfin’d,
The life and conduct of the human kind
To thee, revenge and punishment belong,
Chastising ev’ry deed, unjust and wrong;
Whose pow’r alone, dissimilars can join,
And from th’ equality of truth combine:
For all the ill, persuasion can inspire,
When urging bad designs, with counsel dire,
‘Tis thine alone to punish; with the race
Of lawless passions, and incentives base;
For thou art ever to the good inclin’d,
And hostile to the men of evil mind.
Come, all-propitious, and thy suppliant hear,
When Fate’s predestin’d, final hour draws near.

Artist Statement:
I chose to bring attention to the Estuary Environment in my print depicting the sea-dwelling, nature spirit “Oceanid” for Pangea Seed. I live in San Francisco and I am part of the Estuary Environment of the Bay Area. Estuary dwellers, whether they be marine mammal, fish or fowl – or human being – are my kind of people! Many weekends me and my girlfriend can be found roving the Northern California Coast with binoculars, spotting harbor seals and sea lions.
My dawning realization that we are all interconnected by the fragility of the environment has found me upgrading my printing methods for a low environmental impact with my new wash-out sink filtration system and ink clean-up disposal and recycling. Making these changes took some effort, some expense, and are by no means perfect, but I’m doing my best. I am blessed to share my little sunny spot in nature with incredible beings, and I feel incredibly honored to be part of Pangea Seed’s efforts to protect our precious ocean environment.
