The art of not drawing Muhammad

Right now a British woman is being prosecuted in Sudan for having allowed her elementary school kids to call a teddy bear “Muhammad”. A name which is apparently common in the area.

You probably remember Lars Vilks, the Swedish artist who this summer received several death threats after having drawn the prophet Muhammad as a “roundabout dog” for a street art project. Here is a drawing I did right after that, commenting on “The new reality of contemporary art after Al-Qaida started doing art criticism”. The guy to the left says: It’s a double portrait of Lars Vilks and Muhammad, drawn with invisible ink. Whereas the guy to the right answers: Funky concept! How much is the bounty?
