Joining the swathe of one-off customs we’ve been posting over the past week for FOE’s upcoming “Creatures” show, Bob Conge aka Plaseebo comes with yet another incredible resin cast monstrosity, the DC Lobbyist! The first in a new series by Plaseebo entitled “Great American Kaiju inspired by real monsters”, the towering beast is a mash-up of the previously released Great White and GNAW the Obese, coming hand cast and sprayed with an internal motion activated color changing LED unit. To be joined by a number of other pieces from Conge, plus works from BLObPUS, Yamomark, GUUMON and Hanawa, the DC Lobbyist will be up for grabs at the show’s opening next Friday, August 9th from 6pm onwards…
Backstory//
It is my opinion that the influence peddling lobbyists hired by special interest groups have hijacked our government. In fact America is no longer a democracy, it has become a daily auction of our principals and assets going to the highest bidder ! “We the people” are no longer represented by our congressmen and senators.
Profuse daily distractions of forever war in some foreign land, forest fires in the west, politicians caught with their pants down, the IRS cheating, periodic threats of the next pandemic that never quite seems to get here, on and on, keep our attention fractured and so oblivious to the theft right under our nose.
The lobbyists lurk just below the surface like greedy sharks overfeeding in a frenzy on the unsuspecting public as we swim in circles of illusion. If America is to return to a democracy, “we the people” must demand an end to this lobbyists system of unequal representation NOW !
It seems ironic that the solution is also part of the problem. Our most powerful tool for equal representation is the potential of the internet for mass communication and organization. Yet with all devices we carry with us so faithfully, we keep them focused on meaningless trivia.
We need to refocus on the bigger picture and rid Washington of these parasites…
