*update! there's a new painting done at the bottom!

ok everybody...i teased you with the prospect of new work and so i thought i'd be a nice guy and actually show you some of it. these new pieces are on paper and are basically me working out this new technique before i go bigger and do them on canvas. this is a step in a new direction for me and i'm pretty excited. i just recently decided to drop my english major and concentrate solely on finishing my art degree. this means i will be able to study under george hughes, the badass. for those of you who don't know his stuff, click here. let me know what you guys think!

Around the time of 9/11, we had our own security issues emerge -- nothing as dramatic as the twin towers attack, but to do with "illegal immigrants" (asylum seekers) which in the climate of the time made for an election victory for the conservatives.

One of these episodes involved the claim that asylum seekers on a small boat were throwing their kids into the water in order to be rescued by watching Australian boats. The incumbent PM claimed this repeatedly at the time, in the spirit of "Why would we want to accept people into this country who would do things like that."

As you can see, it's coming down like a house of cards. But as with Bush, the almost certain fact that a politician has played fast and loose with the truth does not necessarily translate into voter reaction. We'll see.

okay you're up to seven pages, my man. you're good, we've all seen them. in seven pages, the whole site probably saw them by now. time to update.

read your last news story(bush/shellgame) i didn't feel like getting into it on the thread cause i'm not as informed about the subject as i should be. however, i'd have to tell you, on the surface looks like you're making hay out of a non-issue.

are you gunning for a news editor position?
