Joe Hunter
Sit down with Toledo-based illustrator Joe Hunter as we discuss what the Lower Your Sights project means to him, his contribution to the anthology, and his thoughts on the unifying power of art.
Q: What does this project mean to you?
Joe: Honestly? I always just want to help in whatever tiny, minuscule capacity I can. Being able to contribute to something that can possibly alleviate some of the suffering in the world means a lot.
Q: What is your contribution to Lower Your Sights? (Short Story, Pinup, Etc.)
Joe: Art on a short story!
Q: In addition to supplying food and essential supplies, Voices of Children also provides art therapy to help kids cope and overcome the stress, anxiety, and trauma of living in war conditions. Do you believe art has the power to heal?
Joe: Absolutely. If nothing else it can take your mind off of things for a bit and provide a little bit of an escape.
