I created this in late October and was thrilled when the dream of Democracy came alive again in November.  Even better, this piece sold this December and helped to lift some doubts I had about creating thought-provoking pieces.  My aim is always to make people smile, this piece, I hope, does that and then some.

An old, dove-tailed drawer that I purchased for .75, then some paint, a vintage Lincoln postcard, pennies (too obvious?), bottle caps, a copy of the Declaration of Independence (I retrieved from a trash can in a thrift store...it was torn), a vintage rubber stamp:  Lincoln, and a bit of my whimsy.

I wonder who bought this pc. of art? Any idea!

I never back away from a good political debate or discussion - that is always how we move forward in this country we all care deeply about. I think Old Abe would be pleased to be honored in your work, and I suspect he will be watching with pleasure on January 20th.
