In honor of Rockwell's style and content with capturing America's state during his time, I figured I could do the same for ours. I can't promise steady updates, or that I can do Rockwell the justice by comparison, but I will try my best.

I present to you, the first of the EDIT: Rockwell Collapse.

"Aggressive Prevention."

The Orwellian is coming through, but the Rockwell, not so much. Also, try to attach the images less to political biased cliché, and more on political reality. More people are getting their homes foreclosed on by banks then are being taken in by the "Secret Police."

Or you could do a remake of the Rockwell painting where it's a series of people talking on the phone, passing on a piece of gossip, and add government wiretappers to it.

I had thought about that, but I already painted this and the series title seemed best fitting. It's not so much about the whole 'police state' trend, as that it is about political reality. Some of these will show the decay of society, market collapse, warrant less wire-tapping, etc. I should change the name of the series though. Thanks.
