The second panel is referring to an incident locally, in which a Tacoma police officer drove his car through a crowd of people. It was a tough month, and a tough year.

When I think of paintings by Carlos San Millan, I think of glowing light spilling into interiors, dark and moody, the scattered stuff of daily clutter expressed with cascading swaths of bold, intuitive, luscious vibrating color. When I think of Carlos San Millan, I think of the effects of light. Lucky us, Carlos San Millan …
