The Cockwombles Hell
Mixed Media (23"x18"x9") January 2026


I don't usually get too serious, but we are living in serious times. This is in fact a political piece. I will never support fascism or hide my feelings about the bloated orange! On closer examination you will notice the checkered past (which haunts him), the forked tongue, the terrifyingly large phalus (which he always wanted but ended up with tiny hands instead), and the green eyes of envy (because he always wanted to be accepted as much as Obama), all wrapped in devils clothing, and looking like it's on fire. It's topped off with a beautiful speech about the ugliness of dictators and hypocracy, spoken by the little tramp himself Charlie Chaplin, who's words are just as poignant today as they were in 1939 when they filmed The Little Dictator. It is a display of the head of the regime's nightmare. 

The AI definition of cockwomble (because we all know we need more of that crap):

A cockwomble is a British, often humorous, slang term for a person—typically male—who acts in an obnoxious, foolish, or arrogant manner, often while holding a high, unjustified opinion of their own intelligence. It is commonly used to describe someone who makes stupid statements, behaves inappropriately, or is a pompous fool. 

Key Aspects of the Term:

  • Definition: A combination of vulgar slang and a reference to the children's TV characters, The Wombles, used to describe an idiot or obnoxious person.

  • Behavior: The term targets people who are not just foolish, but also frequently boastful or self-important.

  • Usage: It is considered a mild, creative insult, similar to other British compound insults like "shitgibbon" or "wankpuffin".

  • Origins: While its exact origin is debated, it is considered a modern British colloquialism that has gained popularity online
