I drew inspiration for this piece while I was on YouTube because I'd seen a iG post and this guy Dr.Umar Johnson was making connection between Chicago deaths and organ trafficking and something came up about this kid Kendrick Johnson who's body was found in a gym mat at his highschool after the investigation they had the funeral then after I'm not sure how long but they exhumed his body to conduct another autopsy and they found that his body had been stuffed with newspaper. I'm assuming this isn't the first incident but after that I paused the video and thought of this line from a movie called "The Wiz" for those who don't know it's basically the black version of the wizard of Oz starring (Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Tedd Ross, Nipsey Russell, Richard Pryor) and in a scene when the crows are talking to the scarecrow they said "ol garbage guts here dun forgot the crow anthem" and knowing both movies have deeper meanings I connected it to present day events. Then later on while drawing the idea I began listening to j.coles song January 28th and in a verse he says "what's the price for a black man's life check the toe tag not one zero in sight" and in that video I learned the human organs combined are around $500,000 so I added that undertone to the work by writing "he told me to check the toe tag... He said it wouldn't be a zero in sight I guess he was wrong because I see five. And since I'm using my version of dead smiles when he's a puppet I made the wood black like Gabon ebony wood to signify he was a black child also by adding the Ebony magazine font I mistakenly added more meaning to it...(don't acknowledge the good if you're not going to acknowledge the bad. Nothing against ebony magazine 🙏. The process before the art
