Laramie Fain

You now?

Here in 2020 with everyone else, watching a system that values profits over life come to it's only logical conclusion

Central issues?

Struggling against white supremacy and capitalism, the roots of all evils

Subconscious influences? 

Every piece of media I have ever consumed. Every post on instagram I have ever seen. Every conversation I have ever had.

Conscious goals or ideas?

Keeping my community fed and our bills paid, trying to draw and read in-between.

Laramie Fain, Book of Matches Pg. 7

Past influences?

Two decades of Pokemon, several cultural revolutions, and the social critiques of Francisco Goya

Laramie Fain, Book of Matches Pg. 8

Near Future?

Turning Corpus Christi into a place that lives up to it's namesake

Personal attitude?

We can either struggle for what is right or lie down and die

Context/Peers/Community?

I am fortunate enough to know have known some of the kindest and truest people alive.

Psychological Hopes/Fears?

That the damage that has been done to our physical world will end us before we have time to repair the damage that has been done to our moral world.

Outcome? Future visions?

Let's work for a world where every person can feel the same sun on their face, to walk down the street and breathe the same air. To live unafraid and able to pursue what truly makes them feel alive.

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many water. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand.

- Frederick Douglass
