We are living in a time of terror. We are lead by a president who is obsessed with terror, and we are engaged in a war that seems only to be making matters worse.

Like many in our country, I feel hopelessly unable to affect our hell-bent course. My art is my catharsis. I use it to blow off steam, I use it to draw hope from despair,and I use it to pay tribute to those who have no alternative but to kill and be killed.
