Dawood Marion documents Occupy Oakland's General Strike protest on Nov 2, 2011. Dawood uses a method call "Reportage Drawing" (drawing on-location) to create a piece of artwork that captures some of the energy this historic moment in time.

As the new year approaching ushers in new growth. I am no longer the man I entered this year as. Some of you whom I have talked with recently may have noticed the change. I've realized recently that I have been dreaming all of my life... understanding this, now, it's time I take control and "CREATE" new dreams.

I am PERFECT the way I am. (IAPTWIA)

Powerful statement. Realizing that we all see life through our own unique lens made up of our personal experiences, it becomes interesting for me to make positive, imaginatively assumptions regarding the thoughts of the people I draw daily.
