Colored Pencils on 5" x 7" Slate Suede Mat Board 

I plan to triple mat this piece Rasta style with this quote written on the top mat. 

"It's a war in the middle I am,

So judge me now with your pad and pen.

Cause I'm too busy to judge another man,

I'm trying to write the blueprint for all the world to understand.."

Soilders of Jah Army (SOJA) is one of my favorite bands at the moment.  They are an extremely talented reggae band out of Virginia.  They came together to form SOJA in 2000, and dropped their first album entitled Peace in a Time of War in 2002.  Their songs are about social, political, and environmental change.  Their lyrics are empowering and Jacob's thought provoking ideals provide a clear message for their goal of equality and world peace in the near future.
