BC artist honours Parkland shooting victim with beautiful drawing

Pia Guerra, a Vancouver-based artist, has highlighted one of the heroes from the Parkland school shooting in a way that has resonated with people everywhere.

The comic honours the numerous victims of shootings, and serves as a beautiful tribute to a staff member that lost his life protecting others at Parkland school, Florida.

The drawing is a tribute to Aaron Feis, an assistant football coach and security guard. He selflessly shielded students from bullets, getting shot himself in the process.

Guerra posted the photo on Twitter, titling it “Hero’s Welcome.” It depicts Feis being welcomed into heaven by fellow victims of school shootings.

Guerra told BuzzFeed News that she had the idea for the drawing when she saw Feis story on the news.

When asked what she was attempting to convey with the drawing on Twitter, Guerra said: "That all these brave, beautiful, vibrant people should still be with us."
