MediOchre Yellow Leviathan
The talk was of Hobbes on the Radio and it got me thinking about those old illustrations of The Leviathan and so I painted this flirty, half blind, coward over an old crowd painting. Strange. Then I did some ink on vellum traces of paintings and voila: Clark comes after Willoughby. Maybe this is what Willoughby ought to be drawn on instead of little pages (These are fairly large panels of paper). I bet video would look great projected on or through vellum. Naturally I get all these great ideas as I run out of materials and money. Typical bullshit.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Hobbes and the ever-widening Gulf. The Washington Post headline last Friday: “A City of Despair and Lawlessness.”
Weird prefiguring with the crowd paintings. Submerged in Katrina chaos, then re-incorporated in the yellow monarch. Just as they’re force-evacuating the holdouts from New Orleans. Get back in the body politic!
