A supporter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra draws a picture of the Democracy Monument using human blood during a rally in Bangkok March 21, 2010. Opposition activists prepared for talks with Thailand's government on Sunday to seek a way out of an intractable political conflict, but with neither side willing to budge, a resolution seems far from likely.

Thai anti-government protesters write poems and slogans and a banner with the remains of the blood donated by fellow protesters earlier in the week at the site of a mass rally in downtown Bangkok on March 21, 2010. Thailand was mired in political deadlock as demonstrators used their own blood to create a piece of protest art after refusing talks with the government. The Reds back ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and say the current government is illegitimate as it came to power with army backing via a 2008 parliamentary vote after a controversial court ruling removed his allies.
