Free Friday Poster Giveaway featuring Freed

Freed started out as a street "artist" in Rhode Island (photo of the original I Want To Believe above) about two years ago, and only within the last few months have decided to start releasing prints on a regular basis. The response to "I Want To Believe" was overwhelming and unexpected.

Most of his prints will deal with sociopolitical issues and how decisions made by the "haves" generally have adverse effects on the "have nots" - whose numbers are growing. I think - I hope - it is only a matter of time before the "have nots" realize that they have all the power. And instead of allowing themselves to be divided over trivial issues and controlled by fear - unite to take back their country.

The original "I Want To Believe" started as a street piece and pictured a faceless child holding the American flag. The faceless child representing a generation of children who have seen their school system pillaged, their parents sent to war (and come home to no job/house), and their healthcare made unattainable. When he decided to make the piece into a print Freed thought it was important to see the child's expression.

Freed has generously provided the regular edition and black white edition with matching numbers to one luck winner this week.
