I did a Google Images search of homeless artist found this picture ,------------------------------>which took me to, http://homelesssigns.tumblr.com/
where I learned two artist started a project for the homeless in a whole new way. The goal of the artists is to raise awareness with a flashy sign and to spread the stories of the homeless who are out on the streets. In further research I sound that one of the artists is a mechanical engineer by degree but a sign painter and artist by trade. Each sign they make is hand painted and is the artist's rendition of the original sign the homeless had.
The following is a link to "If Everyone Cared" by Nickleback https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IUSZyjiYuY . I find this song related to all social issues because Nickleback was just trying to inspire a change in human behavior. I think the video is actually a helpful aspect to the song since it depicts others who have tried and succeeded in making a change either in their community, culture or the world. I personally find the song related to human suffering as a whole and motivates me to want to make "everyone care" about their fellow human beings. The song was written by the member of Nickleback and, the digital sales of this song go to Amnesty International and International Children's Awareness Canada.
The credibility of both the band and the art movement is with their followers. They are both established and within their fans are probably influential figures. They also both have pathos on this subject seeing the signs or hearing a song tends to trigger one's emotions. The homeless signs however, unlike Nickleback, have a shock affect on the public because it is something they were not expecting and it's controversial.
