About half way through October I started my latest large scale woodcut. Here it is before I explain it. 




Here're a few close ups.



This took around 3 weeks to complete.  Its the same size as the last large woodcut (180cm by 1m).  Again, I printed it on paper and a bedsheet.  The paper print turned out good but the bedsheet had a problem with crumpling..... (can't blame a guy for trying).  The image is a fat cat with Donald Trump's hair looking mischievously as he's spraying cat stuff all over the word democracy.  (It's not peeing.  Aparently cats spray for some reason.  I don't know why.  It's digusting.  Ew).  The fat cat is a symbol for somebody who's well off  and who's also a liar.  Trump was notorious for lying during his campaign for presidency so I think this fits well.  Regarding the Cat-ass-trophy part, I took the word catastrophe and separated it into cat (for the big cat) and ass (for the spraying out of its ass... ew) to make a double pun, bringing in the humour part.
