April is also tax time. A recent piece for The Milken Review, part of series concerning issues at the IRS. Morale among many IRS employees is low, with many feeling as if they're in a fishbowl and that the slightest misstep can be cause for termination.

Another school shooting

A recent piece, in response to yet another school shooting—this one in Nashville, TN. With 85 shooting victims on K-12 school property so far this year, it's almost as if students have a target on their back. A parody of gun fetishist's human silhouette shooting practice targets.

Chestnut Mare

Artwork for a handmade artist's book inspired by song lyrics which reference color. This illustration was inspired by the Byrds song Chestnut Mare, which includes the lyrics: Above the hills / Higher than eagles, we're gliding / Suspended in the sky / Over the moon / Straight for the sun, we were riding / My eyes were filled with light / Behind us black walls / Below us a bottomless canyon...
