Art evokes emotion and conveys a message.
This is the first in a series of pieces with a political or social theme.
When I first started looking at sandcarving I realized that glass is the perfect medium for Stencil Graffiti art. In my youth I visited the major cities of the US and I always saw stencil art and it often had a political theme.
When I took the class with Slinger I was mostly interested in learning the photoshop techniques. (Magnetic lasso is my friend, Thank You Slinger!)
I was also really interested in how his content was recieved, in other words did people buy it, and after the converstation I had with him on that subject I've decided to just create art that I like and that sends the message that I want to send. If someone buys it great if not I hope it makes people think.
So thats why I'm doing this series because I want to say something. Art for Arts sake...
Thanx fer looking.

yea!!
stencil graffiti was originally popular for spreading a political message. its nice to see more people using their intellect when they approach a piece as opposed to just trying to make it "pretty" or commercially popular. keep doing you ECH....

FUCK YOU^^^^^
You obviously need to do some research before making blanket statements like that. I'm Palestinian... do you have a problem with me? My family? I should come out there, move into your house uninvited, then burn it down for fun... I have a feeling you would want to fuck me up then too.

I like your graphic ECH... the arabic is a great touch

re "Fuck Palestine"
I think that if you looked closer and thought about it, the piece is an accusation about the policies of the U.S. and Isreal in regards to the Palestinian people, not a glamorization of the destruction of the Palestinian people.

Nice Peace
better statement
Ech...You did it !!!
Its not your fault "yo momma"
The statement you made is a complete result of the brain washing youve allowed yourself to endure. Take this oppurtunity to remove the ignorance you posses and free yourself from the propaganda. another words STOP GETTING YOUR NEWS FROM TV. If you research just a little, you would not have a heart IF you didnt feel the shame of that mindset.
US give bilion$$$ more in aide to Israel than all of Africa combined...mostly in military. (just one fact)

Rephrasing....
I meant no personal offense to anyone, but I'm Israeli and I do have a problem with the things the extremist Palestinians have been doing to my people for years!! Unless you are an extremist (which I know you're not) whose plan is to blow up a bus full of people or something crazy like that, then YES I would have a problem with you. BUT
I shouldn't have been so quick to rudely type my previous comment, as it was stereotyping all Palestinians as extremist murderers. I know that's not the case, and I do apologize for that.
I guess I must not understand the meaning of the stencil that was used, so if someone would be so kind to explain it and enlighten me, I'd appriciate it...
Aloha!

Some people ....
Just dont get it.
Way to rep your peeps. You do know that you can be Jewish and not be a Zionist right ?
FUCK Territorialism , Learn to live together. As far as the stencil goes , not that hard to figure out.
Learn about different cultures and maybe you wont be so scared of the "extremist murderers" BTW , speaking of Extremist Murderers .... maybe you should take a look back at how Ariel Sharon came to be known as "the Butcher". It should help you realize there is blood on many hands.
Have we not learned anything from Yitzhak Rabin ? Did he die for nothing ?
FUCK WAR.
Oh and as far as the pipe goes , looks like its served it purpose already. Even if it makes just one person think out loud , its working.

Apparently I don't get it,
So I'm waiting for an explanation... Pea Phunk, you got one for me??? or are you just saying you know what the stencil represents, but really don't so you can look cool on the internet?!? Fill me in...
And you're right, there is blood on everyones hands... I don't argue with that...
Aloha!

Thank you mamma...
He went very much out of his way to contact me and make sure there are no hard feelings. Honestly I feel that this is a situation that no one really knows enough history about, myself included.

OUR DIFFERENCES ARE NILL!
WHEN WE REALIZE THAT MOST OF THESE "POINTS" ARE A WASTE OF TIME, WE WHEN WILL BE ABLE TO TRUELY LIVE UP TO OUR POTENTIAL? THE TRUTH IS HUMANS ALL HAVE THE SAME BASIC NEEDS. AIR, WATER, FOOD, SHELTER,THEN LOVE ACCEPTANCE....ETC.
THE REALITY IS THAT OUR DESIRES/AND BELIEF SYSTEMS ARE THE FUEL OF THESE CONFLICTS. "I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE IDEAS NOT BELIEFS. WE CAN CHANGE OUR IDEAS EASIER THAN OUR BELIEFS." CHRIS ROCK

you don't get it yo' momma
you hate monger, you are so deep in yourself you can't see you partake in the very type of hate and ignorance that you think resent other for. "since I can remember" You obviously don't know what the world you are talking about this conflict out dates you by thousands of years. All you can remember is the hate an blindness that was taught to you. Keep your simple robotic brain away from TV, try reading sometime and keep your opinion on myspace. Before someone like me finds out your an ignorant racists. School yourself.

never mind bro
congratulations, you grasp the English language. my point was that, it is foolish using a thousand year old war of which your ONLY information on the issue is that of the trickle down of ignorance among your surroundings. And to reference "since I can remember" as an excuse to hate another race and be extremest your self is an ignorant as one can become. Sure maybe a thousand years is before you remember, but to use the absents of information in the gap to be an Israeli extremest your self and fanning the flames of hate just shows how far we haven't come in those years. Thanks. (really everyone is the same race human, duh?) Maybe you don't agree either way I just want you to know you are being a racist even and if you are in denial about still the truth shows itself. your recanting statement is as ignorant as the first, give it a thought. Try hating less and creating more.
ALL
