What a fantastic picture! It's so simple, but so bold and graphic that it really stands out. And you picked a great line to illustrate.

And this is one of my favorite lines from the book. So odd, so amusing, and so disturbing at the same time.

I don't what it says about me that your darker images always seem to illicit a Beavis-style, snickering "Yes, YES!" Excellent work (again).

I don't know Brandon, that's actually (again) quite a compliment to me. I've never believed art galleries and museums should be hushed places of reverence. I would rather them be loud with the bellowing of the masses. Especially if that bellowing is a Beavis-style "Yes!" But I guess I've always been a bit lowbrow in spite of my disdain for modern pop culture.
