In my last post I showed cartoons and manipulated photographs in response to the current atrocities happening in the Ukraine. In an attempt to locate the original of these cartoons, I resorted to TinEye.com . This revealed that most of the photographs originate from Russian websites that have been turned off, at least for now.... Continue Reading →
