ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The idea behind my satirical character Suzy Spreadwell, from my comic of the same name, or one of the ideas, is to look at fundamentalist, deep-red state religion as we would a fetish. I find the model fits quite well. The premise of the series is that Suzy, just having reached adulthood, is having a great deal of trouble keeping to her Purity Pledge, and florid and often blasphemous fantasies start exploding through her head. This series of paintings arising from that is called "The Sleepy Sins of Suzy Spreadwell." This is the first of them (physically painted: the actual first one was digital), "Pentatheós," which some may know means "Five Gods." You may recognize a few of them. The flag is one as well. This is also my first physical work in paint, having to this point only drawn in india ink, pencil and digital. It's 10" x 13" on thick illustration board. Note: Text at bottom is for purposes of the print. Does not appear on original.
