He's gonna need more than a band-aid... I have to say the picture has impact, guns have obviously violent connotations, and it is slightly outside comfort zone for many I imagine, but clever nonetheless. The globe being in front of him rather than replacing his head or being above his head with him blinking or looking up brings up the faceless politician in a suit hiding as well - interesting image!

Thanks ! In fact I'm afraid of fire weapons and it's not a real one :-)
The idea was to really replace his head but I could'nt figure how to make it with what I had.

Very clever! I wouldn't have realized the globe was in front if the other poster hadn't mentioned it. Well done!

Ecologically I think you might also need a bandage, a dozen more band aids and some blood stains for the world's present state.

Cool idea and very good presentation.

Is that the banks, insurance companies and war holding that gun?

if it is, they already pulled the trigger and we are bleeding and we as a world do need aid.

I totally agree Bill ! Sadly we have gone a lot too far with this

In fact I had put a lot more in some tries but it was getting to much to me and the picture was less "clear".
Thanks for commenting.

In fact my thoughts were more on the ecological side (pretty much everyone is holding the gun) than on the social side but you're right it can be seen like that too. Banks, insurance, politics, business men. Well a lot of people

Thanks for stopping by.
