'A large elephant that is also a tank and construction equipment supporting a chunk of bridge covered in what looks like an aerial view of suburbia falls off a high bridge over the ocean while business men run after it.'

We are an artists’ collaborative that makes politically charged art. In a world that is haunted by dark shadows like the Koch Brothers, ExxonMobil, and the DeVos clan — shadows whose nefarious actions are not well reported in the mainstream media — the truth that shapes our lives is hidden behind a veil of propaganda. In this situation, to make art that is innocent of political content is to step behind that veil, to be blinded by it. But to step out and take a stand can take its price. We make art under the name Johnny Everyman and keep anonymity to provide a platform from which to communicate clear of any assumptions or political repercussions.
