Shepard created this artwork a few months ago for a
commission by Ebony Magazine. Although he was not able to show the artwork until the issue
hit newsstands this week. “I have followed Trayvon’s case closely and I think
any compassionate human being can relate to Trayvon as a brother or son and
would want to see a thorough investigation into the killing of an unarmed
person. In my portrait I wanted to emphasize Trayvon’s humanity as well as the
public outcry for a just investigation into his death.
