My daily wild deer visitor nearly walked into the studio today. Must be an opera fan. It could also be the apple cores I keep leaving there.

Huge thanks to Rachel Maddow for selecting my work for her new book, "Department of Fate". The promise, the power, and the collapse of America's most consequential institution.

This book is a wake-up call to how far the Supreme Court has strayed from what our founding fathers had in mind.

Like an escalator to the summit of Mt Everest.

Ai has the ability to strip human lives of the vital meaning that makes it so wonderful to be human - the awe and joy that comes from the greatest achievements we spend years devoted to attaining.

Yes, more people would see the summit, and none of them would experience it with the same awe and appreciation of someone who felt every step of the climb. Disagree? How many times do you sit in awe on a commerical jet, looking out at the incredible view from 30,000 feet, traveling 500 mph? Ease offers you immediate access to a diluted "accomplishment." When we strive to remove meaningful challenges in pursuit of ease, we deny the unique gift that being humans offers us.

When I was contacted to do my first season of posters, I asked them very bluntly about why they would think I'd be right for the job given the often dark and depressing political and human interest related work I had a reputation for. "You’re perfect. Lust, revenge, adultery, treachery, power struggles, fratricide and greed. You're our kind of guy."

poster for ELEKTRA explores raw, brutal themes of vengeful obsession, traumatic grief, and psychological decay, set against a background of familial betrayal.

The lynching of the American vote.

In a single week, the US Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Virginia "rulings" have done more to undermine the voting powers of minorities than any others since the Jim Crow-era ).

No one hides from history. These efforts will go down as another chapter in the long story of ignorance in the USA. I'm ashamed to that I ever believed these voices were from the past.

I'm honored and humbled to have these 3 images selected to appear in the new American Illustration 45 Book. My thanks to the jury and as alway Mark Heflin for the championing of the human art of illustration.

The first is an SF Opera poster for the production of Manon, about woman who is ultimately destroyed by pursuit of wealth.

The second was for an American Scholar magazine about the self-hatred feeding gun violence in the USA.

The last was a cover for Sojourners about using thirst as a weapon against civilians.

Yesterday a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit made a ruling that would make it illegal to dispense Mifepristone via the mail, effectively making abortion illegal in states that have made it harder and harder for women to choose.

Three men, no women or doctors, making an often life-threatening choice for all women.

Rough sketch from 2022.

The Conservative Judges of the Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act

In a move meant to make it harder for Black Americans to participate in American electoral politics, the Supreme Court paved the way for the GOP's un-American tactics that are designed solely to disenfranchise and reduce the power of the individual's vote.

History won't hide these people, or their obvious motivations. How do they look themselves in the mirror?
