The "Liberator" by

It’s some time since I entered a pic in the horror genre. Sadly this one is not really fantasy. A liberator, a deliverer from minority oppression. yeh right!

Talk about “…out of the frying pan and into the fire”

About Tom Godfrey

My artwork ranges from the traditional, to the slightly offbeat.

With the wildlife and landscape, paintings, I like a more photo-realistic approach, with light, colour, emotion and a sense of space, being key components.

My cartoons are a little quirky, with themes and styles varying according to mood.

    It’s sad . . . how many historic figures have gone from liberator to tyrant.
    That aside . . . Excellent work Tom. You’ve portrayed this in a most appropriate light.

  • Thanks Wizard. good observation – sad but true…“absolute power corrupts absolutely.” as they say.

    It ‘s being suggested here that the ’honourable’ title be withdrawn from Sir Robert. Wonder if they can remove his manhood as well as his knighthood. Odd how these people decry the west but take everyhting it has to offer. Keep up the good work Tom.

  • Thanks Sir Brian, At least your title is well deserved :) Yup he is a bit like a crazy Monty Pythonish character… “Sir Robert the puffed up stupid tyrant” Agreed re – beat the west with one hand while you are taking with the other -crazy!

    Damn good work mate. The most horrific monsters are always us humans.

  • Too true, unfortunately. Cheers Rob

  • thanks David. Maybe I’ll make him some place mats for his birthday :) Mind you, he is so twisted he would probably be flattered.

    Fantastic! He has an interesting face for portraiture, perhaps that’s his only good point!

  • :) perhaps that is his only redeeming feature.
