George Floyd Memorial Bust Released for 3D Printing by Sculptors Daniel and Rodman Edwards

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A memorial bust of George Floyd will be available to everyone supporting the Black Lives Matter protests all over the globe. The George Floyd memorial bust, which is currently online for virtual viewing, can also be 3D printed at local libraries, maker spaces, colleges, and community networks of individuals with 3D printers. The 3D printing file is available for free at Sketchfab and is a presentation of love from the sculptors to the Floyd family and protesters at large, announced Cory Allen Contemporary Art.

The memorial bust, modeled after a photo of George Floyd, which has been the source of many community murals, depicts a strong and gentle man. It was created by the father-and-son team of sculptors, Daniel and Rodman Edwards.

"While protesting is pivotal, there are plenty of other effective modes of activism," said Rodman Edwards, "we agreed that using our talents was the best way we could show our support."

3D printing is a service many local libraries are making available to the public and websites like 3D Printing Media Network provide listings of libraries with 3D printers as well as maker spaces. "There is an active 3D printing community and many of those people are staying at home and social distancing, unable to join the protests, but wishing to show their support - they can 3D print a memorial portrait of George Floyd at home, and post images or video of the bust for online vigils through social media," said Daniel Edwards.

"The memorial bust of George Floyd puts power into the peoples' hands. For the first time in history, individuals have the right to choose who they wish to memorialize forever. This is a step in the right direction and will hopefully set about a trend in civic artworks," said Rodman Edwards.

Daniel and Rodman Edwards are sculptors who reside outside of San Francisco. Their work can be viewed at https://HipHopAllStars.Art.

Senator Tom Cotton Treason Monument Created By Artist Protesting ‘American Apathy’

Treason Memorial

WASHINGTON D.C. and ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 2, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the U.S. takes a major step toward reaching a full agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, artist Daniel Edwards has created a "treason monument," featuring a bust of Senator Tom Cotton, as a protest to the "apathy of the American people" regarding the 47 Senate Republicans who sent the unauthorized letter, at Cotton's behest, to Iranian leadership that undermined the U.S. negotiations, to be unveiled later this month by Cory Allen Contemporary Art.

The monument, "Treason Memorial: The Portrait of Tom Cotton," as described by Cory Allen Contemporary Art, "is designed to combat domestic complacency and depicts the life-size head of Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton looking seditiously ahead, beneath the looming representation of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, who appears to have a sly and divisive smile. Etched below is a 'U.S. seal of treason,' featuring the bald eagle, scornful and glaring with its back turned away, accompanied by text which describes the offense committed by the 47 senators. The back of the monument lists all of the signing senators by name for posterity."

"According to The Logan Act, these senators committed treason, but will likely not be held accountable, which is why this monument needs to exist," said spokesman Cory Allen, citing the federal law forbidding any U.S. citizen acting without official authority from influencing disputes or controversies with a foreign government.

"I felt compelled to create this memorial to never forget the senators who potentially damaged the U.S. over affairs as sensitive as nuclear arms in the Middle East. I hope we can resolve to be less apathetic about such unlawful misrepresentation," said artist Daniel Edwards.

Other works by Edwards include "Landmark for Peace: The Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Memorial" located in Indianapolis, and The Hudson Institute's James Doolittle Award, presented at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., of which Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld have been some of its recipients.

"Treason Memorial: The Portrait of Tom Cotton," will open to the public at CACA's The Showroom, the world's first public relations gallery, located in the Warehouse Arts District in St. Petersburg, Fla. on April 24, 2015. Contact Cory Allen at 323-393-3115 or visit http://www.cacanet.com/ .
