I LOVE stuff like this! If I had any money, I would buy it, LOL! :P I love the composition - the horizon line is high which gives this a feeling of "weight" (the weight of history?) - and the simple palette with very few colors - almost feels like a black-and-white photo that's been superimposed on a color one. Love the linework (that grass really looks like grass!) and the use of white space. Awesome :)

Great art work. Very commemorative of that time in history. The book "The Children" tells it all, and is was a mixed race that marched. Your colors are excellent. And yes, things have changed. A lot.

Powerful subject Bro!
Love the reasoning behind your choice of doing those marchers in b/w! This really does make the point.
Every one of them has a different expression which I find fascinating and show that you the artist has a very great aye for detail.
Love that sky!

Yes, we need to be reminded: a rainbow nation in black and white. I think you have made a powerful statement here and marshaled your talent in support of an excellent cause.
