The fella who is the CB on most None-tech releases Is the ephemeral artist Clint Bushman.
<ephemeral because of the nature of his art (he makes books which he dips into vinegar so that they dissolve leaving the owner with a pile of rotted paper any rusty stamp in the space of a month) in person he is quite chunky. Clint is sort of the visual arts face of SFIAS in fact he still does their covers and mostly ignores me> Well he sent me this image.

It is called "the discomforts of heaven" if you click on it you can get to Clint's description of the piece. It is a depiction of the parable of the Prodigal Son. The two sons are in heaven and the Good son is pissed off that his wastrel brother is there. (I don't remember the story going that way but who am I to correct anyone on religious matters)
The brothers are modeled on Bob (of SFIAS) and myself. The villain of course is me although I don't have and have never had the beard of a Assyrian king .
The prints are being sold as a benefit of the Ballet they are doing Balanchine's Prodigal Son I think these may be the only images of Bob ever made.
