A call for entries at a crucial time on our planet!

 

"Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age! Set your foreheads against the ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the Camp, the Court, and the University, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental, and prolong corporeal war. Painters! on you I call. Sculptors! Architects! suffer not the fashionable fools to depress your powers by the prices they pretend to give for contemptible works, or the expensive advertising boasts that they make of such works: believe that there is a class of men whose whole delight is in destroying. We do not want either Greek or Roman models if we are but just and true to our own Imaginations, those Worlds of Eternity in which we shall live for ever..."

 

William Blake - Milton

 

 

The Little book of Draw Not War will be a 'showcase of artistic talent', featuring Illustration, art, photographic art and graffiti that attempts to convey a simple message - 'draw not war'.

Anyone who wishes to help with the project please email us through this site.

 

What do you/we want to say about war? How do you feel about the 'institutions' that support war from our governments to the banks? Express your views, your humour, 'illuminate the world' through your 'imagination' and 'creativity' it's time to 'drawnotwar'. Remember to read the the brief it may give you ideas?

 

The message is 'Draw not War' or 'Art for Peace'.  We will leave the rest up to you and your imagination?
