TO SERVE MANKIND
“Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality…Where there is no property, or at least none that exceeds the value of two or three days labour, civil government is not so necessary.”… Continue reading

Welcome…
… but be forewarned. You’ve stumbled onto my patch of cyber “real” estate. If odd drawings of semi-naked, not-so-polite people will offend you, limit your views to the “Published Work” pages. Don’t go to… Continue reading →
FEED THE NEED
We can’t see if the human in the drawing is looking at the window or the phone. Both look the same—bright therefore attractive rectangles in otherwise dark confines—mimicry, for sure, but is it… Continue reading →
FIRST MUSEUM, THEN YOU DON’T
A drawing that’s not about you know who. Yes, he’s still a problem—a big problem, THE big problem. The question remains: Will his presence and absence create a world war and the dystopia… Continue reading →

“Let them eat this”
This one, when the idea was only half an image, was more generic. The headless suit in the surrounded by moneybags in his limo was corporate capitalism semi-personified—corpulent and inhumane—and the people on… Continue reading →
CHESTNUTS ROASTED
Wishing most of you happy holidays of your choosing. I prefer simply acknowledging the increasing daylight hours as a rare something getting better in these difficult times to the more monetized institutional celebrations.… Continue reading →
