Originally, I entitled this image Psalm 23 or as it is written: 23rd Psalm, partially because of the Shepherd reference, but mainly because I painted it in an iPad drawing app called Paper 53. I thought it was kinda’ funny.
In March of 2025 I decided to modify the original image, straightening and adding to the right side, removing the inscription, and I renamed it, simply Sheep. I hope the image conveys the original innocence and vulnerability of “the flock” that the psalmist intended; however, I want to lift it out of the Hebrew Scriptures and place it into a more contemporary political context without judgmentally crossing over any lines that might conjure up notion of sheeple and related nightmare scenarios. We’re much more likely to fulfill our dreams if we do so collectively and as a community.

Renamed: Sheep
