2026. I am entitled. You are entitled. We are an entitled people!
A riff on some of Trump's insults directed towards Canada. Because we are not bowing down, he considers us "an entitled people".
I guess I am rising to the bait, but I just cannot let that one go. SO...a depiction of Canada in 7 panels.
Lots of deliberate space in this collected image - as befits the size and openness of Canada
Each panel: 22 x 30 in. Charcoal, carbon and coloured pencils, collaged digitally processed text on abused paper

Cheers! Canadians are known all over the world for saying Sorry!
Sorry, but we are Not Sorry!
Sorry, but we are Not Sorry!

Entitled, detail, Canada has ample backside real estate
An acknowledgement of Doug Ford's comments about his butt!
I had fun trying to render the concept abstractly. But once you see it - you cannot unsee it!

Entitled, detail, Canada has April
Had to have snow and ice in here somewhere. And you know, April is the cruelest month.

Entitled, detail, Canada has Lake Ontario
