I have a painting in the current issue of Chroma Journal in London, themed "Americas". It's my acrylic and stencil/spray on canvas painting Obama in Conversation with Vishnu and Daleks (above). Chroma is funded by Arts Council England and it's literary pieces get positively reviewed in The Times.

The title is from Ethel Waters' rendition of Suppertime from Irving Berlin's 1933 broadway revue - As Thousands Cheer. (play the song on You Tube below). People wouldn't know but this was an innovative revue based on a newspaper and the events of the day (remarkable, you'd never get that bravery today). I re-drew Obama's face with olive leaves, sort of a mask of Caesar.

"Oh Barack, Don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars. " Chick Flick: Acrylic, screenprint on 16 x 20" canvas. This is a continuation of my using Broadway and Hollywood metaphors, in examining the US/Israeli/Palestinian relationships.
