New Work, New Year

Well, it's 2017 and everything feels awful in the world of politics! The state of the union is worse than ever before. I try not to think about it, but in less than 60 days of his (#45's) presidency, everything is a disaster! More racism, more sexism, more homophobia, more lies, more unrest in the world.

 

But the good thing is I have been busy making lots of art. I did bring back the Piss on the Capital Series (which began in the first Bush Presidency) but mainly I am working on a new series of paintings.
