I was commissioned by a private individual to create this painting, called "BILL GATES: SNAKE OF THE YEAR". The client gave me the creative freedom to depict the world's most controversial "philanthropist" who gains unimaginable sums of money from promoting even more controversial and often very harmful technologies worldwide. I was asked to portray his misleading, innocent looking nerd facade, which conceals a most cunning and venomous individual who could not care less about humanity. 

As we approach the end of the year, and various individuals are awarded "man or woman of the year" awards, I think Mr. Gates' title is well deserved.
