the 1619 Project Conversation Covers

stephen had been a regular on the conversation series, so i continued with coloring the faces on the next piece.

the design is based on the pepe silva meme featuring the charlie from it's always sunny in philadelphia. i had previously used the meme for a cover of a video about how one thing worse than any conspiracy would be that there was no conspiracy whatsoever and this was just the best that we as humans can do.
here is the cover for the third and final part "Would You Reject This 1619 Project Conversation? | The conclusion, some comments & a proposal." went away from the faces design for this though eventually carried this general idea for the next series of conversations. 
used the striking image of "gordon" the slave as the basis for this. recoded a speed drawing of the process. click the link for youtube or watch it below

thank you
