Napoleon's Privates


Napoleon's
Privates


—Harper Collins, June 2008
Tony Perrottet book, "Napoleon's Prvates, 2,500 Years of History Unzipped" presented an unusual opportunity for me to take some of the biggest historical figures, good or bad, and display them as an array of misfits.
I have the flasher himself,
Napoleon, J Edgar Hoover in drag,
Hitler searching for a booger and Marie Antoinette holding a champagne glass that was designed from her boob.
They all look like they're ready for NYC's Greenwich Village Halloween Parade.
