I seek information and comfort. Something that preserves my sanity and ability to function. I follow the news, analyses, comments, statements. My work is now intertwined with it. I do not strive for the accuracy of photojournalism, political cartoons or caricatures that I admire. But I draw from the same streams of the moment, and I sip from the streams of science and art. The taste of my cocktail is often hopeless and cynical. Sometimes funny, I hope.
