Simple Living: Artwork for Darfur
May 2nd, 2008 Posted in Art, Society
I love this painfully poignant Darfur poster from Nadia Plesner:
“My illustration Simple Living is an idea inspired by the media’s constant cover of completely meaningless things. My thought was: Since doing nothing but wearing designer bags and small ugly dogs apparantly is enough to get you on a magazine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention.”
She’s selling posters and T-shirts with the image trying to raise money and awareness for the plight in Darfur. She’s also getting sued by Louis Vuitton for using their product in her artwork.
It’s like many things I’ve come across recently that painfully remind me how wealthy I am and how easy I have it. And it demands an answer.

The fact that she’s getting sued by Louis Vuitton makes her point that much stronger.
