Absolutely! I'm always shocked at how many supposedly compassionate people see refugees as a liability instead of as human beings. It's heartbreaking.
By the way, I really appreciate that you took the time to read my blurb. I know it's long and ranty and unstructured, so thank you for reading it anyway :)
You should totally do an Inktober series! It's a great experience and I feel like it's really helped me grow as an artist.
And thanks for reading through my rant. I know it's long and not terribly structured, so I really appreciate that you took the time to read it.

Leaving the politics out of it, on a human level, that's just wrong. Nobody deserves to be turned away like that when they're just trying to be safe. Appreciate your thoughts on this!
beautiful! such a striking image! art has always been used to show political/religious/ethical ideas and you've done it in your own style. very good. The situation is alarming. thousand of refugees try to come here in Italy from Libia and Siria too and we also had cases of shipwreck with countless victims. many Italians gave help, but also many others just complained that thy're too onerous to keep them here, and to send back home.
It seems that they don't don't understand all the sacrifices that poor people makes just to arrive in a safe place, literally risking their life just to escape from war. I'm pretty sure they would prefer to remain in their own country as well if it wasn't for civil wars. the world had become a huge pile of shit lately, even more than usual I mean.
I know what it is like to type descriptions for art from a phone. Been there done that, MANY many times on my Blackberry.
Quite frankly I agree with everything you mentioned and it's true, we do need to be more accepting about be more open. It's ok to be cautious but not to the point where that fear turns into discrimination and hatred if that makes sense. I don't get political on theO either, but sometimes certain subjects have to be brought to people's attention and I give you MAJOR Kudos for doing just that. Seriously here *virtualRoundof APPLAUSE*
Now art related comment is art related: This is awesome art. Love how you drew her with both the flags, the expression and line weight works perfectly. sHE LOOKS like an awesome character and your love for her shows in your art. Again more major props to you. This is truly inspiring work.
I might have to do my own inkTober thing even if I ain't doing a series of em, just to contribute some art and do something different.
