My HOPE for our New President...
Electrical box....5 YEARS LATER! Doc Barack!!! from Peat Wollaeger on Vimeo.
At the end of 2003 I PAINTED THIS TRIBUTE FOR MY SON.
(It was my First Commissioned Stencil!!!!!)
I also worked a design gig...
mostly for good health care for my family.
5 YEARS LATER
(and many more commissions)
I almost do well enough financial to support my family,
but I STILL have my day gig with health benefits,
because it's too expensive to pay for on my own.
I know this is a massive concern and a similar situation for many Americans.
My "Hope" is that Barrack Obama will finally find a solution and create an affordable care system for all so I can finally free myself from working for "the Man" and focus more on creating art full-time.
This is a frame from a video. You can watch it on Vimeo.

Wonderful (art)work!
Your sentiments are echoed by anyone (not only artists) who is trapped by the medical coporatocracy. Imagine the unleashed entrepreneurship America could be experiencing - if we didn't need to rent ourselves to big business out of fear of medical expenses.
