Apropos of the historic moment of the November 5, 2024, United States elections, I’m reposting this painting from 2019 of a miserable creature caught in his own private hell.

Remember: As POTUS, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords. Do you believe the billionaire tech bros who back Trump / Vance - the Elon Musks, Peter Thiels, Larry Ellisons, etc. - will lead the corporate pivot to sustainable practices that don't fit with their model of financial and political gain?

'Pretty In Pink' is a 16x20-inch pastel painting I made in outrage over the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. I'm continuing to post my overtly political art in the run up to the November 5, 2024 election.

Remember that the Republican candidate for President stated that among the brownshirts of today are “some very fine people”.

Last week was Banned Books Week, and in the run-up to the November 5, 2024 U.S. Election I'm reposting another of my blatantly political artworks, "451 Degree Fahrenheit".

There are times when subtlety is inappropriate to the urgency of the day and a two-by-four-to-the-head approach is necessary. I’ll be posting my political art in the six weeks preceding a historical election in the United States that will determine if we remain for now a democratic republic.

Through a generous grant from the Arts Council of Monterey County my project Boomers of Monterey County will allow me to apply my unique visual style to portraits of an aging demographic that represents nearly a quarter of the U.S. population – a demographic in which I also belong.

Longtime followers can remember that for years the website URL was “emcanimator.com”.

2023's art began with weeks of overthinking and a mess of a false start, which came grinding to a halt when I abandoned a painting for the first time in three years. This ever happen to you? It’s kind of like the way life’s been until now.
