This cartoon is the most personal and intense work that I have ever done. Created as a "farewell letter" to a partner in a broken romantic partnership, I teetered on the brink of suicide through most of its creation. (even signed myself as "Incubus" on the piece) Life and the emotional trauma that I was going through was to intense for me to handle and it seemed nobody on this Earth understood what was going on inside of me. When I finished it at last, I felt strangely relieved as if release had come through putting pen to paper. I remember that time with both fear and wonder.

"Ironic?...Perhaps, but that wall that hurts you, wounds me too.
The anger and hurt your show reveals only misunderstanding.
The mask I wear hides fear behind its remoteness,
but its the fear you see, isn't it? And its the fear you hate!

See a universe that's yours - yours to create and destroy at will.
See the people, the creatures of that universe.
You know what they feel, for you are one flesh!
Utopia... Do you see?
I belong to that universe, possessed and seduced by the reality,
but bound eternally in limbo, denizen of neither this world nor my own...

An End...

On the 28th January, 1986, 72 seconds after launch, the space shuttle "Challenger" exploded, killing all 7 crew aboard. The world was stunned as the horror sank home. I was profoundly affected too. An avid shuttle "watcher" I followed every mission with intense interest, and the fragility of this life was hammered home in my mind. This cartoon was done 4 years later after the investigations had shown how NASA had toyed with death and how safety standards had been compromised. The cartoon was a dark reference to an earlier incident regarding a faulty "space toilet".

Commissioned by the Department of Human Virology at the Faculty of Medicine where I worked for 9 long years, this turned out to be a very popular bit of artwork later and has been used extensively in HIV/AIDS education. (1993)

Another cartoon commissioned by the Department of Human Virology, this turned out to be equally popular and has been used extensively in HIV/AIDS education. I seemed to have captured the couple "in the act" as it were, and their expressions say it all. There was some complaints from some conservative folk who objected to the nudity and "situation", but after all, the primary vector for the spread of the HIV virus is through unprotected sex. Need I say more? (1993)
