Huge thanks to AD Sheri Gee, editor Rob Davies & everyone over at Folio Society. What an incredibly talented and hard-working team. Also massive thanks to the hoards of people who contacted us about doing this book over the past year; keeping quiet about it was so difficult.

I only wish he’d written more books for this series so we could keep the party going…

Mmmmmm not quite… this is John Austen’s Hamlet. Inspired by Beardsley, yes, but not Beardsley.

Credit: Cover of 蛮勇 / Ban'yu, a Japanese translation of the novel Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol (Ukrainian-born, 1809-1852). Jushien Tsukahara; Ryusei Shibata. Tokyo: 新声社, Shinseisha, 1903. Originally publshed in Tōkyō nichinichi shinbun, 1895. I am not sure how the featured lion relates to the theme of the novel (related to the aspirations of the Zaporozhian Cossacks). As seen at the 2022 New York Antiquarian Book Fair @abaararebooks.

Death and the Handmaiden 11x17 pen and ink on Bristol Board. Digitally painted in Photoshop.

My apologies.This isn’t the time for subtlety.

This woman is prepared to do real damage.

She’ll have a hand in dismantling to Affordable Care Act.

If the election is contested she’ll be the one to throw the election for Trump.

Along with Judges Thomas and Alito she will assuredly nullify legal Gay marriage.

Black people and people of color won’t be safe either. Hard fought civil rights will be under  renewed attack.

And as someone who won’t even acknowledge the reality of climate change, she’ll vote against the survival of the planet but for corporations who pollute and contribute to the climate crisis.

Want to mitigate some of the damage?

VOTE. Vote for a DEFINITIVE UNCONTESTED BIDEN WIN.

And once he’s won? Apply pressure on day one. Democrats have no choice but to increase the number of progressive judges to the Supreme court to mitigate the damage this woman is prepared to do.

VOTE.

If This Pig Could Talk  

Black Lives Matter. Arrest cops that murder Black and Brown lives. Defund the police. Reinvest those funds into communities most affected by bad policing. Periodt.
 
 For the record I absolutely LOVE Kadir Nelson.
But why do I feel like he’s the only go-to Black cover artist The New Yorker hires? I know that’s not true, it just feels that way.
 
 So okay universe… I’m speaking this into existence!
