Created as a collectors edition literary form of Art, Post Nobilis was published as a cultural action and  somewhat esoteric intervention- a slingshot at the Goliath of our time.

Titled with the Latin term signifying  'relevance for both the social patriarchy and common man', the pun on Post No Bills echoes back to street art, bill posting and guerrilla forms of message delivery within the public forum.  Styled as an old west newsletter / poster fold, the intent is to reveal an injustice concerning Geronimo - and invoke the immortal presence of the Great Apache war chief and seer as a figurehead and heartland revolutionary for our time. The legend of his Skull and Bones stolen by the Yale secret society almost a century ago, sheds light on injustice against earth peoples, and Geronimo rises once again as a revolutionary leader in a story of resistance against the ruling power elite. As theatre of the mind, Post Nobilis is a pictographic reflection on mythology, injustice, skullduggery and spiritual freedom- a post historical perspective and quest to expose repeated injustice aimed at returning stolen power.
