Let me introduce you to Simon

Simon appears on many public transportation vehicles in Nairobi. This time he was on the back window of a taxi parked at the posh Junction Shopping Centre.

I have always found Simon's image to be striking. I have no idea who the artist is. (Finding him or her would be a monumental undertaking. Unfortunately that person must get no royalties for the frequent use of their artwork.)

Simon represents the oppressed extremely poor street children in Nairobi. His image is meant to make you consider their plight. Or at least that's my theory.
