Artist, American, born 1943

This is a painting of a post-apocalyptic scene with characters and debris. The artwork depicts a detailed and colorful dystopian landscape filled with surreal elements. There are characters wearing costumes, some carrying weapons, and flames erupting into the sky. The background is filled with ruins and abstract forms. The bottom part of the image shows debris, including mechanical and skeletal remnants. The style is reminiscent of underground comic artists like Robert Crumb, with intricate linework and a psychedelic flair.
