WAR

This is the 5th of 8 or so pieces in the "new body of work". This drawing is about war; most of the pieces I've completed this year are pairs which show one theme spread over two drawings. This drawing borrows from the epic poem Beowulf, the imagery of Infest, Systematic Death, Insect Warfare, Crash Worship, Durer and the lyrics of Insect Warfare and Seized. Seized were from Quebec and played sludge in the late nineties. They played that sludge on three basses. I don't think anyone can top that. There will be another war piece of the same size, using Tolkien for the text.
