"The Fall of Trump"
2020
I made this drawing after Trump's election loss of 2020, hoping that, to paraphrase LotR, his fall would be so low he would never be able to rise again. That hasn't really happened. And not only that, but the new administration did not really even try to dismantle the politics of racism and greed over which he presided. The Dark Tower never really came down. It merely got a new occupant with a fairer guise and voice.

But the Black Captain established a camp at Andrath, where the Greenway passed in a defile between the Barrow-downs and the South Downs; and from there some others were sent to watch and patrol the eastern borders, while he himself visited the Barrow-downs. In notes of the movements of the Black Riders at that time it is said that the Black Captain stayed there for some days, and the Barrow-wights were roused, and all things of evil spirit, hostile to Elves and Men, were on the watch with malice in the Old Forest and on the Barrow-downs.

"Glaurung"
2020
My take on Glaurung, Father of Dragons of Tolkien's Middle-earth. I wanted to give him a Smaug kind of vibe, but more primitive, serpentine-looking, since he is after all a wingless dragon.
