Memorial tag for Lucki Pannell
The art created in these victims’ memories has been heartbreakingly beautiful. In an attempt to honor the memories of this year’s homicide victims, and to recognize the work of the artists among us, Homicide Watch has launched an open Flickr gallery.
We hope you’ll join us by sharing photographs of memorial art that has touched you this year. Memorial art takes many forms, from street shrines to t-shirts to posters and nail art.
The gallery will remain open until Dec. 14, at which point we will publish it on HomicideWatch as part of our year-in-review coverage.
Add your photo to the Flickr gallery, submit it in comments here, or email it to Homicide Watch DC Editor Laura Amico at HomicideWatchDC [at] gmail.com. On Facebook? Share with us there in this album.
