This fanciful portrait of the late Chairman Mao incorporates elements from the famous mouse, symbol of frivolous capitalism. The green and gold rays represent money and gold, of course. Long live Chairman Mouse. This painting won one of five first places in the 2006 September Competition at the Alexandria Museum of Art, Alexandria, Louisiana.

Andy Warhol would be proud. Walt Disney, on the other hand, may have other thoughts. This is awesome. Very deserving of its first place awards.

each time I see one of your political or social commentary pieces, I am so grateful for your descriptions. once i've read the description i usually have to whack myself in the head v8 style and then laugh or cry or both. it is so much fun to see some of what you see in this wacko circus of life.

Though the man is not someone I would normally comment on, you have a GREAT imagination and I only WISH he had been humorous. I see him more with horns I think.
