We seem to be plagued by fake news but no one can agree, in any small measure, on the perp(s). This is my interpretation of John Singer Sargent's 1905 portrait of Joseph Pulitzer but it's been updated for the times (or the post?). Trekkies may notice the earpiece suspiciously evocative of LT Uhura's. The eagle's head cane is now a jester's scepter impatiently waiting for a message from Star Fleet. I served 21 years in the Marines and my art is heavily influenced by that experience. This is painted on a genuine surplus US military shelter-half tent. Canvas has been a traditional art material as much as it's been a war material. I'm combining the two in what I call my #nvgpainting. NVGs refer to military night vision goggles, hence the green glow. The jingle bells on the scepter are attached to the painting using military communication wire for field phones.
