Inspiration
The inspiration/motivation to create this wallpaper was, with all honesty, my disappointment with the Harper government here in Canada. I'm not going to write an essay here explaining what I don't like about the actions of the Conservative majority, because that would take too long and it's subjective anyway. Suffice to say that I'm not happy with the government and this is one of my many ways of expressing that.
On top of that, I'm also frustrated by society for being so benign about the short-sighted, non-progressive and undemocratic behaviours of their governments. All over the world there are governments acting selfishly and wastefully – with money, environmental resources and lives to name a few.
The Guy Fawkes mask is a tribute to the man himself, who was part of a plot to overthrow King James I, as well as the protestors last year who sported a mask on the streets. I loved that. Whenever I see this mask, however, I think of V for Vendetta. That movie was a major inspiration for this (and the source of the quote). Every time I see that movie, I think it's a little closer to what the world could become.
Technique
Simple process. Started with the mask, added some text, rearranged a bit.
Felt good.
Special mentions
The mask is from here.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI don't know. Bullet proof isn't the same as invincable, and it almost makes me feel like bullet proof is trying to say it is invincable.also, you can be immune when your shot at, but still not immune to being shot down. It's kind of like a squar is a rectangle, but not al rectangles are squars. You are trying to make a rectangle both, but you need to make a set of parellel sides shorter, or consintrate the idea of it, into something more over all true. Something more like Ideas are invincable, or unharmable, in an over all way of saying you can't harm them. but I could have just miss interperated your intentions. I don't know.
