At the top of this drawing is a portrayal of an anonymous sunglasses-wearing Good Guy nonchalantly taking out a gun-wielding Bad Guy. This is part of the "knives-vs-guns" theme that many of my drawings exhibit. Below this violent tableaux is an anagram for my name, Paul. This dates this picture sometime after I read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, in which the main character is confronted with a devilishly clever religious (or anti-religious) sect entitled the Illuminati who brand their victims with anagrams. Perfect reading for a fifth grader, no? Anyways, a couple of my friends who were also Brown fans at the time decided to make anagrams of their names, and I gave it a shot. I'd say that this was probably the most rewarding part of reading Brown's work.
