the peace sign was designed by gerald holtom.....and he designed it for people to use it for free, i always liked the sign. i am doing what i call peace paintings where i use the symbol in some way in the painting, i will continue to do these of all places people and things from around the world. i am currently doing alot of new york city land marks. i got inspired by my friend gail day in 2010 as well as john lennon and his message of peace. i paint them in acrylic washes on wood panels,i am selling the originals and prints on wood.
