• A chaotic tangle of imagery in mostly reds and yellows, with some pops of blue. There is the violence and angst that has been pervasive in the series, but there are now more insect and gastropod elements, including a moth with a spiky orange head taken from the tail of a horseshoe crab, a large red eye and some scales from some aquatic creature, and the bulbous yellow head of a grub.
  • The work on display, hanging on a concrete pillar in a wooden frame (left side). On the right side of the pillar is Placid Deformation #4.
  • A detail from the lower-left side, showing a grasping, red-clad arm and two narrow comic book panels forming a strong set of diagonal lines. The middle of that set shows a face being immolated, the directional lines of the blast of fire mirroring the shading of the sleeves to each side of it. Peeking out to its right is a horrified face, up-lit by yellow-orange light. The pieces surrounding these to the right and above are too abstract and tangled to identify.
  • A detail from the middle, with the moth wings prominent, overlapped by the bent, black leg of a beetle that is reflecting red light on one side. This leg protrudes from behind a fragment of a red hot-rod in the lower-left, and chaotic clippings arc from there, along the left edge of the frame, and above. The moth's anatomy has been augmented with the tail end of a horseshoe crab, forming a fearsome, sharp proboscis and spiky armor. The action word "FTEW!" is visible on the right side, in blue-green.
  • A detail of the upper middle of the work, showing isopod-like plates and legs on top of a bright-red fish eye. Clippings above this form strong diagonal lines in the negative space. Among them is the raised red fist clutching the handle of a sword.

The DOOMGOD series channels political anxieties through a lens of pop imagery, pulp crassness, and punk showmanship. It is an indulgence in nihilistic hedonism and an examination of the way media glorifies, sensationalizes, and paradoxically trivializes violent unrest through the bright colors and slick packaging of entertainment.
