feels good to do something

I've been wanting to do some more conceptual stuff for a while now.  I have a pretty large stack of this type of illustration in my studio at home.  I started thinking about taking pieces of things I've already painted and putting them together to make new concepts.  It was kind of fun to create this way.  Paint something out of one painting, then photoshop some new element or object in, and wow, a new piece.

Nothing too special here, but these are a few "new ones" from this weekend.

Obamacare...

New year...and new health care costs.  At my workplace, they told us that their agent warned them of health care cost increases as much as 40%.  Thankfully it wasn't quite that bad, but our policy got worse and the costs still went up, and I did notice today that my take home total was less.  Tax increases combined with increased cost of health insurance.  I guess this is the "changes" that the majority wanted.

Here is my take on the new world of Obama Care.  "Good luck," the doctor says as he shows you to the entrance of the maze that has become our health care.
