The contest describes to create something beautiful out of something ugly. To me, something beautiful is something strong, opinionated, and shows the truth of the world. The truth, that is true beauty. War however, is ugly.. Everyday I see this and that about Iraq. Another car bombing, another rape, another death of innocent people. Ugly is the perfect description as well for George W. Bush. He is ugly inside and out. He is supposed to be a leader, but all he has done is lead moths to a flame... I could go on forever, but it's unnecessary.

This I created with printed out articles and a wanted poster made of George. W. Bush. As well, I took articles from a newspaper and off the internet and using water glued it to my face. It's my message, it should be written all over my face, it should be shown for people to see. The background is cardboard, and the speech bubble was also made out of a piece of cardboard.

This is only one version that I manipulated, I think I might submit the other one and see which one is liked the most because I can't decide, please tell me what you truly honestly think.

^^ Go ahead and flame, I welcome it. As well, please fullview.. some of the articles were very sad..

This is the second version of War is UGLY. Please tell me which version you like best!
