A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Issue No. 7

I haven't posted an issue of "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" in over 5 months.  I have so many series on my blog that by the time I get to one I really want to talk about, a new story pops up, or a funny video takes it's place.  

In keeping with current events I felt the best place for this post was in this series, because while the art itself does not consist of words, it does consist of a broader message.  In contrast to my other posts, where the words made the art, in the portrait below, The National Post’s graphics team uses artillery shells to convey it's message.

With the death of Kim Jong-il there is uncertainty about how much support the third generation of the North Korea’s ruling dynasty has among the ruling elite, especially in the military, and worry that successor Kim Jong-un might need a military show of strength to help establish his credentials. The National Post’s graphics team explores the firepower available to the great successor.
