“The Trumpanzee” they’ll be out in droves to

“The Trumpanzee” they’ll be out in droves tonight in a Maga frenzy when Trump gives his speech at the CPAC conference. They’ve been drinking his snake oil for years now. Who knew hate and fear was so satisfying? #cpac #maga #cult #trumpistas #republicancult #culturewar #politicalart

He’s Back!! This time as a champion of democracy

He’s Back!! This time as a champion of democracy. Dick Cheney just made a campaign commercial for his daughter Liz in which he completely trashes Trump. The world never ceases to amaze. If you enjoy giving your brain whiplash it’s definitely worth watching. #dickcheney #lizcheney #jan6 #campaignad #2022elections #politicalart

It’s Kewpie Tuesday! When my mother was very yo

It’s Kewpie Tuesday! When my mother was very young she became enamored with kewpie dolls. Before too long she had a big collection and hung onto them her entire life. I loved kewpies too and have included them in many of my paintings. They have a funny, strange and disturbing quality all at the same time. In my opinion that’s the sweet spot for popsurrealism works. #kewpie #doll #popsurrealism #paintings #kewpiecollection #kewpietuesday

Poor Steve, not everybody enjoys His “Total Bull

Poor Steve, not everybody enjoys His “Total Bullshit” especially the jury in his contempt of congress trial. Beforehand he threatened to go “medieval” on his accusers. Perhaps he’ll find out what real medieval is while in prison. A federal jury found him guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. #stevebannon #trumpwhisperer #totalpos #trial #guilty #jan6 #subpoena #politicalart “Feeding the baby” 2016

“The Ark of Justice” even though Carl Sagan s

“The Ark of Justice” even though Carl Sagan stated that it was highly unlikely that a benevolent alien society would come to earth and rescue us from our stupidity, still it’s fun to fantasize the possibilities of that happening. Perhaps they would start with certain current Supreme Court justices. Dr. Martin Luther King‘s famous quote “ The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice”. I hope Dr. King is right on that but one wonders how long does it take to bend? #ufo #alienabduction #supremecourtjustice #arcofthemoraluniverse #martinlutherking #carlsagan #politicalart

Maybe tonight will be the last Jan 6 hearing to be

Maybe tonight will be the last Jan 6 hearing to be seen in prime time, (5:00 here in California). I’ve learned a lot from the others so far. I could’ve guessed it was a shit show but WOW!! Coverage on all the major networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC but strangely not on Fox News. Tucker Carlson will be on instead most likely scaring old white people again. “Pandemonium” 2022 (Stop the Steal) #jan6 #jan6hearings #trump #flyingmonkeys #capitolriots #failedcoup #politicalart

“Prelude” 2022. The idea for this painting came about when I was thinking of the Ukraine war and how lives can completely change in a moment. Thanks to the US Supreme Court there is today a new reality for American women. #waronwomen #yourbodymychoice #invasion #supremecourt #assault #womensrights #roevwade #prolifehypocrisy #politicalart

This is Robbie Conal! @robbieconal If you haven’t heard of him before it’s time to check him out. He’s been a powerful voice as a street artist around the nation almost forever. Never accused of being wishy-washy or unclear on where he stands, he always skewers the villains of the day in deadly fashion. Here’s a few of his Supreme Court portraits and other usual suspects. His work is printed as posters and glued up around cities by cadres of sympathetic leftists. Not always focusing on just the bad, he often honors the good guys with sensitive portraits. (See last two images) In person he is funnier than hell but never get between him and his pizza. #roevwade #politicalart #streetart #supremecourt #abortionrights

“The Republic of Suicide” 2009 this is a large piece I created a while back depicting my fears for the fate of our country. The first image illustrates fundamentalist Christians attacking the Supreme Court. Looks like we can check that box now. #supremeinjustice #roevwade #supremecourt #politicalart #washingtondc

“Pandemonium” A short video tour of my new piece about the January 6 insurrection #jan6 #insurrection #politicalart #jan6commission #trumpcoupattempt

“Pandemonium” named after and inspired by John

“Pandemonium” named after and inspired by John Martin’s famous work (shown in the last photo). Pandemonium was the name of the capital of hell in Milton‘s Paradise lost. In Latin it means “all the demons”. Martin’s painting seemed like a perfect starting point for a piece about the January 6 insurrection. Public congressional hearings about what they have found are starting tonight. They can be seen on many venues but not on Fox News, no surprise there. #jan6 #congressionalhearings #capitalinsurrection #trump #flyingmonkeys #maralago #capitalriots #politicalart #johnmartin #pademonium

Made this about 10 years ago for a show about gun

Made this about 10 years ago for a show about gun issues, tight after another horrific episode no doubt. This is my satirical cover for a gun magazine. It depicts an NRA vision of true security. The titles of the articles were taken from real gun magazines. I feel that at the core of many gun owners is fear and insecurity which is exploited and amplified expertly by right wing media, politicians, gun manufacturers and the NRA. #gunviolence #massshootings #ar15 #fear #paranoia #politicalcartoon

Just finished this piece yesterday. It came about

Just finished this piece yesterday. It came about while thinking about the war in Ukraine. I have a few titles in mind but none I have settled on. I thought I would put it out there if you can suggest one or two of your own. I’m often surprised at what people can see in a painting, things I never imagined. #ukrainewar #tanks #music #piano #room #villa #politicalart #painting
