Starting on November of 2016, on the day after Election Day, I began work on this series of political art pieces. Having lived in New York, I knew Donald Trump for the corrupt huckster he was.

As he took office, and immediately began dismantling American norms like they were a tearer-downer, I came to view him and his cabinet, hangers-on, children and associates as a crime family, and like a crime family, I believed they needed to be named and identified. The goal of this series of prints, internet meme and paintings is to help you “know your thug®.”

In 2016, I was asked by Dark Horse, my publisher, to contribute a suite of illustrations for a unique project. Chuck Palahniuk, the writer-provocateur and author of “Fight Club,” was doing an “adult coloring book.” Seriously.

I was asked to do six coloring-friendly drawings for Chuck’s racially and sexually-tinged story, “Nonsense.” It’s about a woman who frequents a club, the “Love Club” where games of power, gender and race are played out in anonymity. She often goes in the guise of Harriet Tubman, and her slave/sub is a man who masquerades as racist U.S. president Woodrow Wilson.
