Seems sort of appropriate today as we've got a leg up on them now. Fingers crossed.

I like your optics on this. The mixture of the hulking being with a halter and blinders and bit brings to mind that he is being directed like a horse or mule, but also dressed in a pin striped stylish suit to create a false image in your mind. It provokes thoughts of the mob and the underlings used as soldiers of enforcement. A thug dressed up to look legitimate by someone outside the picture but who controls the reins.
Your painting tells a story. I really like it because of all the information it displays in layers of meaning. Very nice work!
