"Civil War" and "Drought" are new painted versions of older, monochrome works.

"Article 14: Right to Asylum" is one in a series of 30 paintings (click here) illuminating the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights), previously exhibited in an 11-city international tour including shows at the United Nations Palais des Nations (Geneva), the U.S. Senate Rotunda (Washington, D.C.), and the National Arts Centre of Canada (Ottawa).

"The World", "Drought", "Famine", and "War" are from a series of 12 drawings entitled "In Humanity" published in Frank: an international journal of contemporary art and literature.

"Ecce Homo (Behold the Man)" is in a private collection in New York State.

"Hiroshima: Ground Zero" was published in the New York Times Op-Ed page on August 6, 2001, to illustrate an article entitled "The Nuclear August of 1945" by Nikolay Palchikoff. The color version is new, but placed here for comparison purposes.

"War" (1991 drawing) can be seen on page 51 of the Fall 2003 Wilson Quarterly magazine. Their website is here.
