King inspects Nuclear Plant as Core Melts Down(c) 1985 Elton Houck.... 5" x 6" pin and ink on Bristol. This was during the Cold War stigma and everyone had mental pictures of seeing their own skelton through their skin in the flash of an atomic detonation, and of course witnessing this just before they themselves (skeleton, skin and organs) became sub-atomic dust particles flaming in the nuclear firestorm...CHEERZ!

Wow I never saw an art that can glow so much.. this art has completely catched my eyes. You ring wisdom to your words in potraying what is about the outside world.. Great work indeed.. how did you make such an art glow in the dark that is some interesting idea here!

Interesting image from a subconscious - I think that nuclear energy is like a knife that could be used to make surgeries to saves lives or as a weapon to kill.
