Another piece from an art class =D

This one is a bit more complicated. This was inspired from a short story I wrote, about an old janitor who lives in a society where you had to buy passes in order to speak, and even then the passes you buy have certain limits. Like the Bronze Pass would allow you to speak daily words, Gold would allow you all words, Platinum, etc. But since this society has placed a price tag on almost everything imaginable (even something not physical like spoken words) the poor are opted out from speaking, so they must speak through sign language. The three up there are illustrating the three stages of saying 'free' in American Sign Language.

I really like the idea behind this, and the short story was hilarious. Ahahahaha. This is actually quite powerful.
As for critique, the guy on the far right has a small hand.

you're really creative in putting your ideas and thoughts into pictures. it makes your pictures really conceptual and interesting to look at. it's something new to look at. awesome ideas. and how you drew the people are not like your style, yet it fits the mood with the picture.

It's a wonderful take on the ever growing fear of losing our privacy, freedom of speech and our ever growing big brother society as it were. The art style here adds to this alternate idea of life but also some glimmer of expression despite the attempts you described.
