More of Moo's Third World

Escape from the KKK - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm

A scene from 1950's Hicksville USA when the Ku Klux Klan roamed around the Baptist Belt of the Southern states, lynching blacks for no good reason at all. Here, the tables have been turned. The brother has a 38 revolver. He may be out-numbered but is going to shoot his way out of this one.

Lang Hancock - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm

A portrait of the imposing West Australian mining magnate. Lang's dead now, but in his heyday between the 50's and 80's he was larger than life. Lang had some personality and a larger than life wife too, the notorious Rose who spent most of her time talking to the media and appearing on TV. Some have said that Lang just got on with it and didn't care too much with things like, say, indigenous land rights, but these were the good ol' days when a handshake would seal a deal. 

Please buy my intestines - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm

Another southern Indian muslim guy. i saw him in some local meat market in Bangalore, offering a string of paradise spiced cow gut sausage, with a generous serve of heavenly desperation. Notice the boning knife, at the ready. A defense against any outraged Hindu his grisly wares may offend.
