Leaders inspire art that is inspiring. Here’s a great offering by Gavin Aung Than that I found on the blog ZenPencils.

I love the simplicity and transformation that shows the determination and clarity of Yousafzai’s recovery and continued activism. It’s an impressive example of how art can express a story so compellingly. There’s something about comics that makes real life more real, when it’s done right! And the way he captured the theme of her message — “I have the right!” is really great.

ZenPencils also offers downloads of art (wallpaper), many inspired by leaders, like this tribute to Gandhi.

This is a way that artists reframe and highlight inspirational stories, becoming leaders in their own right.
