"Beethoven" (detail) - Illustration by Matt 'Iron-Cow' Cauley

Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep forever, and ever and ever.

– from Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange

During my senior year at Parsons School of Design, I began work on creating an illustrated version of A Clockwork Orange. What began as a photographic experiment of a 3 foot marionette with sculpted interchangeable heads expanded into an ongoing series of miniature paintings. Presented here is a sampling of the work created.

Alex’s torture continues through the conversion process. During one film, a German movie from World War II, Alex recognizes the soundtrack as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Alex cries out in agony for them to stop, calling it "a filthy unforgivable sin."
