Drawings by Adam Wheatley:

“My works on paper talk of those magnificent men and their killing machines fusing with suburban family values and consumerism. They seem diametrically opposed but I think otherwise. Little boys and girls grow up to be canon fodder. And war is cleverly packaged with plenty of spin and lofty rhetoric to sell to the masses, who swallow it whole, no matter how bad it is for someone else’s health.”

Deweaponizing the Gun is an ongoing art project by Walton Creel:

“When I decided I wanted to make art using a gun, I was not sure what direction I would have to take. I knew I did not want to use it simply as an accent to work I was doing, but as the focus. My main goal was to take the destructive power away from the gun. To manipulate the gun into a tool of creation and use it in a way that removed it from its original purpose, to deweaponize it.”

“Two of Chromoly‘s past designs, the Ninja Tack and especially Bourgeois Brass Knuckle, emerged as problematic to market. Potential manufacturers were consulted by their lawyers to stay away from them, and scandinavian retailers had the products taken off their shelves by the police. The objects were being treated like the weapons from which they borrowed their forms.
The Ninja Tacks and Bourgeois Brass Knuckle modified two weapon types to serve a different, non-violent, function. Everyday Weapons inverses this formula so that the capacity of everyday things to be used violently is drawn out of them.”
