The Administration of Cruelty and Stupidity

Last year I created a one-of-a-kind hand-painted book, Hate Is What We Need, a book of quotes from Donald Trump and his minions. Chronicle Books published it as a small trade book (available online from ChronicleBooks.com and/or Amazon.com). Now, a year later, I've created a second book on the subject, but including some of Trump's detractors and victims as well. I call it The Administration of Cruelty and Stupidity. While it still lacks a cover and has not yet been bound, here is a sneak preview.

Trump Papers | Summer 2018

Last summer I created a one-of-a-kind hand-painted book of Trump quotes, Hate Is What We Need. Chronicle Books made it available as a small format trade book. This summer I’ve painted 40 broadsides which I call Trump Papers, a collection of quotes by or about Trump and his administration. Each measures 37” x 25”, and was created with acrylic and paste on Stonehenge paper.
