Literature
This "American Rage" print, based on a photo taken during the LA riots of spring 1992, is my second collaboration with photographer Ted Soqui. I was introduced to Ted's work when I made an illustration based on one of his photos of an Occupy Wall Street protester. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began in the aftermath of the "not quilty" verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King.
