DCR: What you’re actually getting at with some of these drawings is that fight between man and nature or the environment.
RP: West Texas is a flat plain with just scrub, a few trees and oil dirks by the million, and they’re just pumping all day long. The drawing has nature in the background, i suppose to overcome the fact that the oil was being extracted. it smells of a substance called H2S, which is a lot like sulphur. If you can’t smell it, then you’re being poisoned. The locals, they can’t smell it.
