Step raht up, ladeez an gemmum! Lookah de big fiah right down hyah in de Guffa Mexico…dem damn erl comp’nies! Errrrr…wait a minnit – mebbe it’s de Persian Guff! Ah cain’t remembah now…but in dat case, Ah’d hafta thank Mistah GeeDubya Bush.

Stylized digital oil painting – with grunge elements but a smooth texture – of the fire begun by the British Petroleum explosion in the Gulf of Mexico – or this could be a firefight in the Persian Gulf, if you prefer. Take your pick – both equally horrendous. Lots of detail in this painting, which may or may not not be visible here.

PS: Thanks to my Louisiana friends for semi-educating this Connecticut Yankee in the intricacies of New Orleans patois.*
