Context and Misconceptions

Added 2020-09-19 19:51:50 +0000 UTC

I wanted to post a note to members of the group to make sure people understand some of the imagery in my artwork. Some of you have followed me for years. Well before Patreon and before Twitter. My artwork is dark and brutal. I tell everyone that up front. I have some work I want to post that I created YEARS ago, but for some people it might be misconstrued into something it is not. Especially in today's climate. When I have guys in big heavy armor or uniform, with weapons and all kinds of gear, it is only artwork. IT IS NOT some endorsement of some right wing bullshit. Do not get it twisted. If the victim in one of my scenes is a person of color, it is just because that is what that guy looks like. IT IS NOT some secret support or wink and a nod to the brutalization of people of color. That kind of things would be REALLY dumb on my part for very obvious reasons. Some of you that truly know me, understand exactly what I mean. I have not politicized my Patreon page and do not plan to, but so nobody is mistaken, I fully support Black Lives Matter because if I didn't my life wouldn't matter.

There are some series I am going to recreate, because although some of the iconography while accurate for the situation it represents, I am not comfortable with how it can be taken out of the context and used in a manner that I would despise. The good news, I created these series years ago and my skills have gotten a lot better. So now I get to present them new and improved.
