Unstable Footings

This illustration was published in the Nepali Times 4/2/12.

A new opportunity for me as this is the fist time I have worked with them, also a bold step into more political illustrations.

A sour scene

 

 

The square –

cleared for the new prime minister

the black heavy legion spine

 

yes sir

yes sir

the herding cane

 

yes

I see your laced boots

 

but yes

I see your face

 

you have a page for me

from the barracks

dawn through to armour

through the lash

to the line

 

through the surge

through musts

and the spinning known

 

how heavy is your helmet

the strapped

maoist mark

 

you’re the son

and the brother

of the beaten
