no imagination

This drawing depicts pall bearers as "Cavity Sams". For those of you who may not know, that's the name given to the character depicted in the board game "Operation". I didn't know that either until I did some research at the Milton Bradley web site. I've used this character previously in a bunch of acrylic coffin shaped canvases, which seemed to get a lot of positive responses. I see this character as a kind of hapless pawn whose wounds or "operation" cavities become sources for thought bubbles containing suggestive rubric-like imagery.
