What do you when the world around you is going crazy? If you're a creator, you create.

Brazil has been in turmoil over the past week after demonstrations over a rise in transit fares mushroomed into a series of protests throughout the country about a broader range of issues. Comics creators, and brothers, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá saw their home city of São Paolo turn into "a war zone" last week after the police reacted with extreme violence to what began as a peaceful demonstration. So they responded the way creative people do, by making comics about the demonstrations. Both are powerful statements presented in different ways; Moon simply draws himself giving his take on the protests, while Bá draws scenes of his beloved city and of the police shooting at the protestors. See their comics in full on their website.

Both brothers pledged to be at yesterday's demonstration. "On June 17, I will go to the streets to tell my story and to defend the right of other people to tell theirs," Bá says at the end of his comic. Watch their blog for more updates.
