Artist Feature: “Do Not Be Scared” - a project of awareness, by Paul Revie
 “Do Not Be Scared” — artist Paul Revie’s series of “information graphics” aimed at dispelling the myth that being consumed by wild animals is a cause for concern. author's comments: "Why if it teaches even one ignorant child, then it will have been worth getting eaten alive by all these different animals to find out whats inside. it still amazes me, that we can put a man on the moon, but we cant tell whats on the inside of a doberman. whichever political party has the guts to make this their key issue will get my vote. thats for damn sure."Can currently be purchased HERE.

I don't get it. The messages, I mean. The framed artwork is nicely done, but I'm unclear on why children being afraid of getting eaten by a wild animal is such a cause for concern. Seems like a real strange niche to exploit.

If I'm right, the works are a play on "advanced sarcasm", exploiting it in order to seem "artistic". If I'm not, then, I don't get message either, I'm afraid.
