The powerful portrait was dedicated on what would have been Matthew Shepard's 46th birthday...
Mathew Shepard died on October 12th, 1998 at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado – six days after a homophobic attack that took place on October 6th, 1998 – and left to die at Laramie, with heavy brain injuries in Wyoming, U.S.A. His injuries were so severe that the gentleman who discovered Sheppard mistook him for a Scarecrow at first glance.

I miss yesterday so much. It seems like when it was happening, all I could think about was tomorrow. And the today just whipped past me and turned into yesterday.

Happy National Day of Silence
We decided to do a photo shoot on who we are choosing to be silent for.

Phobias run the frame misaligned it’s a shame Running beneath consuming time brainwashing still they say it’s tame
So unsettling the topic heating up conversations You know they lost it
Out the window it goes protesting picket signs show haste and explanations from the wake of the battle for the sake of grace the book unravels
just standing there
that’s wishful thinking linking to failure churches hail, lure young ones to follow suit souls lost in pursuit bullshit chaos pause and salute
what’s the cause ?
well back in 98 Sheppard met his fate life erased because they couldn’t relate
it was torture Mathew experienced orientation of grimace they’re attention surely it didn’t miss
scarecrow on a fence his body was found unfortunately by then it was too late his soul had left this ground
his life was still in conversation when the ambulance drove over no hesitation the decision had no relation to the cope pronounced dead they’re told how could life be so cold
12:53 WBC came to show
no tears for queers he rebels fag matt in hell with all the shit he tells To simply quote That man Fred Phelps
What’s heaven to hell if ignorance is here to last When propaganda fails to see pass the mask Only then can you prosper to a higher place of being instead of letting them force feed your mind full of nonsense
leave it all behind
This story was about a man with a vision I hold and let stand for all to see on display and make opinions that’ll only fray with time
What’s more of a crime but to sit back and let pass
it’s in the bible you say Ok, there’s more I still ask
That’s for you all to understand what you’ve just witnessed
because ignorance truly isn’t bliss
