To ask that question is like asking is there water in water. You can not seperate art from life, politics from life,art from politics; however how you communicate is the difference.

I really enjoy expressing my political opinions with my paintings, but I like mixing in religion as well.

These consist of the following:

Corporate Scolex (24" x 36" acrylic on canvas) - business expressed as a tape worm

Human Resources Tiki God (24" x 36" acrylic on canvas) - a god even HR can believe in

Chief Executive Rotifer (24" x 36" acrylic on canvas) - do you need a brain to be in charge?

Three Faiths Nude (16" x 20" acrylic on canvas) - a model in two poses, one in roughly the shape of a crescent the other, a Star of David... the two are separated by a cross.

My favorite subject is of course George II. The trouble is I have so many ideas I don't know which one to do first.
