These partially fictional, text-driven drawings and collages
come from serious research and comical speculation into the
details of various shadowy histories, manipulative individuals of
influence, organizational brainwashing, alternate trajectories of
the lives of geniuses, and moments when a dark and sometimes
humorous pragmatism emerges in one’s human nature. Recent
topics include Frank Lloyd Wright’s troubles with secretaries, an
alternate career trajectory for would-be master illusionist David
Copperfield, Kenneth Noland’s uninhibited orgasms inside a
Reichian Therapy box, and the CIA’s failed assassination attempts
on Castro.
