The Red Menace

This portrait of the Russian bear cub mingles Cold War fact and fantasy.

Confined to his room, he initiates the game of high stakes dominos that will be used to justify America's military presence in Southeast Asia. He sits atop a Vietnamese Flag, with pop-gun, drum and stuffed panda bear stowed nearby.

Limited edition giclees coming soon. Edition will be of 50, price $65.00. Please inquire if interested.

Great symbolism and practical execution! Very cuddly-looking antagonist, though...
