Orwell named his hero after Winston Churchill, who had his own political smoke and mirrors to flash at his constituency, and thought the atom bomb made a charming roast of sushi and tempura for the air conquistadores. When O'Brien of the Thought Police is torturing Winston late in the novel ( 1984),...

A fine cartoonist showed the two "leaders" drinking champagne, spillin...

ILLUSTRATIONS FOR BOOK COVERS AND POSTERS

A new series of illustrations for book covers and posters by me can be seen in the VISUAL ARTS section.

These were either published as book illustrations or were used on published posters for college or university productions.

Thanks for looking,
