Familiar with the Tyrannosaurus rex? A large dinosaur, now extinct.
The theme, as I've worked in the studio, has been dinosaurs. January has been slipping away as I've made small assemblage pieces. Sometimes they are driving cars (or trucks).
A modified Hudson (convertible), ferries this little, flared neck lizard around. His tail also flapping in the breeze. He's the happy one.
The Tyrannosaurus rex was considered the meanest flesh eater of them all. Tyrannosaurus meaning - tyrant lizard, the rex translates to king. Not such a nice guy, which makes for an odd Pez (candy) dispenser.
Small arms, small hands, to drive a car meant modification.
As I'm finishing up, mulling over life in general, the current president, denials of climate change, my pieces of art started making sense. Subliminal messages became apparent. If there was ever a mascot for "The Trump Resistance", a Tyrannosaurus rex fits. Tiny hands, small brain, the ultimate victim of climate change.
And on that note, optional toupees are included, double sided tape holds them on.

Trump seems like the ultimate puppet, a petulant manchild marionette. I love these pieces! The small brains seem to represent much of our gov't.

Ha!!! It's an attempt to make it funny, and we all know, it really isn't. But a little humor helps.
