CPD BOMBER
Artist’s Name: JOSEPH R. DOLE
Artist’s Comments About the Piece: While the Chicago Police Department (CPD) is often portrayed as working to keep the City of Chicago safe, the reality is that many of their policies, officers, and actions show the opposite is too often true.
Artist’s Description of Himself: I am an activist artist in the sense that I almost solely produce art as an act of resistance or in support of some cause.
Mediums Used in This Piece: Sharpie markers, Chameleon markers, acrylic paint, on watercolor paper.
