From Ours to Yours [re: Charlie Hebdo]

Ben Renschen // jan 9, 2015

As a community of artists, our team shares in the profound sadness left in the wake of events unfolding in Paris. We send every ounce of love to the friends and families of those fallen and affected by the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

We recognize art as a powerful agent for change. Particularly satire. Unfortunately, this became a very sobering truth on Wednesday.

Stand strong and keep creating.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

The attacks on freedom of speech and creativity in Paris has left me with a hole in my heart.

I know of other POD sites such as Red Bubble are donating all profits of Je Suis Charlie art uploaded by artists to charity (the Reporters without Borders Charity). Absolutely agree with you.

Sadly, a lot of the Charlie Hebdo-related artwork uploaded recently on here is profiting from this tragedy, which I find repugnant. Dorian's artwork is a fine tribute showing solidarity without jumping on the bandwagon.

Society6 should stand for some morality, as many artists work hard to achieve their goals, aims, passions and loves. Including those who died in Paris. Many of us have found much disgust in the fact that some people here have decided to put 'Je Suis Charlie' into their shop instead of their blog posts. This is not support, but profiteering. I (and I think many artists here) feel that Society6 should uphold the moral values of the "community" and remove any art form about this event that is set for sale.

honestly? using a tragic event to make a dollar?
