E.L.F. #3, "Observation of the Spectacle"

11x14 in., 2000

Ink

These are a bunch of savages who have come to watch the execution of a convicted criminal. This is a cynical portrayal of our society. Death is SOOOOOO NOT A BIG DEAL ANYMORE!!! Take note that some of them are smiling, joking around, or half asleep. . .this is how desensitized to violence we have become. (Quite ironic coming from ME, who has just painted a bloody creature, pierced by an arrow, just so that my viewer can browse through the site easier! . . .but at least I'm aware of it. What frightens me are those idiots who are totally clueless about such issues!)
