Hi Sam, long time no see.
I like the image and like the use of black and white. I wonder what it would
look like if the spillage was red for blood?
As for the message your protest poster conveys I see that you are following
conventional wisdom. I have worked in the River States of Nigeria for Total
(The French oil company) and have first hand experience of what it is like
there. The problem is not with what the oil companies do but the flagrant

have limited access to that news group. Here is a link to an Ex Pat site in
Nigeria if you are interested http://www.oyibosonline.com/

Strong image but a second thought is, how would it look if the barrels were
smaller and there were more of them?
