Evil Can Be Eloquent
In addition to the large central message and frame, the background has a pattern of cogs over a sepia-tone mess of supreme courts and churches. The words came to me while reading “There’s No Such Thing As Free Speech” and considering the practical issues with the Marketplace of Ideas. Download the full size image here
Til The World Falls Down
Awwww, lookit this cute couple, completely engrossed in one another’s eyes as chaos erupts around them! Background includes a wide shot of a heavily policed demonstration, bullet casings, and urban ruins. Download the full size image here
Getting Out Of Hand
“The Future is Getting Out of Hand” Broken gears and abstract cyber nonsense over a star field with some hints of Lovecraftian nonsense — it’s all of my favorite things! Download the full size version of this image
Nothing Lasts Forever
