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 one is called "A Wanton Lust for Burning Angels," and depicts a masturbation fantasy of Suzy's that will be a focus in issue 2, coming as soon as I'm not eating up time making these paintings. Two things. You may notice Jesus is always there, watching. If we take what churches say literally, it's a bit uncomfortable when you think it though, no? Secondly, Satan might actually be there. That's never really clear in the series. 14" x 12" on Crescent board. Note: Text at bottom is for purposes of the print. Does not appear on original.
