While trying to figure out a poster for Smashing Pumpkins, I noted they advertised the current outing as the Rats in the Cage tour.

It struck me there’s no worse cage for a rat than a cat’s mouth. I decided to try my hand again at making a Cat mask that would look scary instead of mischievous like my Cure one.

I read up on the background for Bullet with Butterfly Wings. Sounded like Billy felt abandoned.

If you know what those Xs are, then you see a human cut off from the very idea of hope. What else could come from a hopeless man’s mouth but rage, louder if they have a microphone.

Made the rest feel as oppressive as possible to add more weight coming down on the iron encasing his head.

Two versions. A reg on white paper and the variant on red foil.
