Dream

Before I post my next series of paintings, which is taking more time than I thought, I’m going to post a few more pieces from the eBay series. Some of these were made a few years ago, others more recently. This one seems appropriate for Halloween.

Pleaconomy: Chicken

It’s summer and I’ve started a new series — but this isn’t it.

These Pleaconomy drawings are a way to make a polite comment, with a subdued undercurrent of frustration, on how much harder it is for downsized workers of a certain age to find meaningful employment in this economy. Layoffs, furloughs, downsizing - it’s happened to too many people I know. So, the tin toys here have been reconfigured to highlight their most endearing aspects. These toys used to be the height of desirability, but now need to try harder to please us, like job-seekers in the laid-off workforce.
