This pencil drawing measures 8.5" x 11", on paper board.

This seems to fit with the TV Series group of images, but it's more about "Middle America" and it's American personality traits than a statement on culture. I was very influenced by mid-century American painters like Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood, Paul Cadmus, George Tooker, Diego Rivera, and also MC Escher. These artists were strong draftsmen and masters of fine brushwork (and dramatic compositional designers).

I admire how they used the iconography of the American Heartland to make political and social statements to great effect. They had a lot to say about the culture around them and deftly worked their political views into their images.

This drawing was printed and widely distributed throughout Central Park on the first Earth Day Celebration in New York City, 1988. It still hangs in a few bars in town.
