Emissaries from the Realm of Waste

"To enter politics is to enter the realm of waste" -Thomas Merton

Panopticon

The past is creeping slowly upon the present. The happy couple is vigilant and suspicious, unfortuntely of all the wrong culprits

Drunk, Disorderly, and Dead!

I shot the devil. Seriously

hungry

A kindly old woman spoon feds several fetus skeletons. Eventually, they all grow butterfly wings and fly away

Working Bunnies

It may be difficult and unpleasant, but at least it's completely unrewarding.

A nugget that may be attached to another larger picture.

Non-Sequitur:
If any of you out there think either Judd Apatow or Tina Fey is funny, I'm gonna smack you in the head with a hammer. That shit is 50 miles past lame.

Practical Arrangements

These two will be included in a new ship of fools print.

Organizing Futility

Organizations are most effective when they work towards a common goal. Boredom and repetition can quickly crush any lingering opposition.

The Terrible Births Yet To Come

The poor woman just lost someone very dear to her and already fair-weather friends are appearing with empty consolations and suggestions at replacements. No good will come of this, for her or anyone else. Sometimes you should just keep your mouth shut.

The Birth of Tragedy

Right thinking men must take upon themselves the responsibility to spread their created wonder upon the world. Only those content with their wisdom and their peace can actualize the methods and means to unleash the incursion of compassion on the ones who desperately need our quality of understanding. It falls on our beneficiaries to bear the burden of our love in all its terrible weight and eventual glory.

The Gates of Quarrel

1: The Man on the top of the Mountain has all the answers. His raucous playground far below teems with suffering and grim finality. His cabal of attendants recognize this as necessary and even more enjoyably, profitable. The Supplicant slowly approaches with eyes in the back of his head. If he displays the right mix of humility and brashness he will be allowed to join the party. Just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

2: There’s crime and then there are criminals. One is a necessary ingredient the other is an unpleasant addiction. She can help us sort the whole mess out if you would just listen to her.

3:Nothing is created in a vacuum, the good man knows the moral defects in the world and can birth new nobility to erase the iniquity of the lesser man. Conviction of the righteous and consensus the gentry are the only necessary ingredients for his Virtue, and the absence of a mirror confirms the superiority of his righteous cabal

Filth

Our oblivious self-destruction masquerades as a self-righteous albatross choking the like out of a diseased human race.

The Unslaughterable Sheep

Sometimes it's worth it.

Despaeration Holding Hands with Tragedy

You get one last chance, it's usually as futile and as hopeless as the first.

Progress 2

Progress

How could hell be any worse?

Walk

Apollo and Aphrodite take the Chicago Boys ; Milton, Arnold, and Theodore, for a walk

Emissaries From the Realm of Waste

The title refers to a phrase the late Thomas Merton used to describe Politics. I think we all know what they really think of us. Don't forget to rock the Vote, kids.(sarcasm doesn't carry well over the internet.) Click the link and despair:
Vote theft #1

Vote theft #2

On the plus side, I was driving on the highway and I saw a sign for a porno shop with some letters on the neon sign burned out and it read "Adult Sore". I think I have an idea for a new print . . .

Meat Queen

The Meat Queen and her Wretched Child adored by many tiny minions.

I will give anyone who can tell me what artist this is a (butchered and distorted) master study of, a print of mine of their choosing for free. Post your guesses in the comment section.

The Discipline of Self-Loathing

If he’s careful he can take a lesson away from this: It may never get better, but it can always get worse.

Plague of Frogs

Battles that save the world take place all the time without our ever knowing.

Acceptance Speech

“I quit, I quit, I fucking quit!” he yelled sincerely with a sneer. Some people insist on doing everything the hard way. Even with a mountain of evidence and an ocean of guilt, they refuse to just knock that shit off. .

King Nothing

This what Dick Cheney wold look like if he were a super villain. An effete evil scientist that lives on his own recycled shit.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

A defeated wail can weaken even the coldest heart. Those with too much compassion can find themselves in untenable situations, in which their propensity for mercy can lead to a violent repercussion of correction. An attempt at inculcation fails to dissuade the selfless, and a price must be paid. Luckily, some people never learn.

Cocaine Naplam Beach Party

The man with all the answers usually causes all the problems to begin with. That’s all forgiven if the party is obnoxious and decadent enough. The vultures probably know something we don’t, like “What’s really down in the water?”

Abusement Park

It's the end of the world, enjoy the ride

Some Mistakes you Never Stop Paying For: Weeded Out

Listen. “I don’t have to plan to fail. I just show up and it happens.” In a dank and cloistered room, a beaten man disseminates a tale of events that have run to an unfavorable conclusion. The consequences of picking a lifelong fight he has no possibility of winning is unfortunately coupled with a tenacious commitment to defeat. The Angel of Mercy can offer great instruction if only he is willing to listen.

Slowly and with Great Disappointment

A respectable distance from an unpleasant event is a desirable thing for the modern patron. Viewed without the twin filters of distance and ironic perception, the possibility of charity could become an unpleasant reality. There are positions to be taken, and illusions to maintain, that takes time and effort! Veneer is all the counts; it lets people know you are important. Cruelty is a privilege, and that loser probably deserved it anyway.
