I really like this work, I love the contrast between the black and red and just love the way that so much thought has gone into creating such a great image.

Matt Murphy
Matt Murphy is another politically motivated illustrator, I looked through some of his work and projects from his website and found them all to be pretty much amazing. But his work 'Oil' which was also featured in the 3x3 annual stood out the most. I liked the way that the bear looks like its trapped in the thick oil/background, there is oil dripping off his paws and his posture suggests he is crying out. This piece is very suggestive, the red is the colour of blood, the bear is also not in its natural habitat. This could be seen as making a point that humans have destroyed the bears environment and natural habitat. The bear which is a natural predator in the wild has become a victim to the greed of oil.
