Sir Winston Churchill Collage

I love Winston Churchill and I love the Brit's and everything British. 
I recently watched a documentary on the blitz and I am so amazed at how they did not surrender to the evils of Nazi Germany.
They stood strong and new knew they would sacrifice lives and industry. but because of it they became a stronger nation. 
How the world would have changed if the British had succumbed to the evil empire that was under Hitler's spell.
I did this collage with the infamous peace sign or victory sign and him standing at his office door.
A now very infamous address.
10 Downing Street.
I choose the anatomy illustration to show the inside workings of the face and muscles because they work in mysterious ways and are all connected as we are all connected.
 this could be anybody as we all look the same on the inside.
I then drew a strip across the eyes to show that sometimes we are blinded as to what may be going on in our own backyard. 
We again live in troubling times and I don't know how idealistic our politicians are today and how we would fight a nasty invasion, we turn our eyes to so many evils in the world and don't want to get involved.
