George V. Dragon, Cherry-Apple Peach, Oil on Canvas, 24"x30", 2026

Here we see Saint George slaying a dragon what wanted to make itself king of a republic. This dragon couldn’t even spell “inalienable,” but it was still certain it knew best about how society should function. You see, this dragon was an irredeemable fascist - also, a rapist/pedophile/murderer - that convinced many foolish people who feared their own obsolescence in a rapidly changing world that it could stop the world being so complicated, taking advantage of their fear response in order to initiate a tribalism that might close ranks around it to protect it from the consequences of its own actions. Punk ass rich kids seldom faced consequences where George grew up, but the dragon’s behavior was so egregious that even the thinnest shred of accountability would result in its destruction. So, George had no choice. Unlike the dragon, George wasn’t a coward.
