Does Erik Thor Sandberg Know Any People Who Aren't Pink?

Is there an unspoken prejudice against people who attended George Mason University? Just because it seems like more than half the crackpots you see arguing some almost blissfully incorrect and gloriously quibbling point against Anthropogenic Global Warming, or Gun Rights, or Creationism seems to be affiliated with George Mason?

Anyway, the artist whose pictures are being shown in this post (let's call him Thor-- he seems to want us to) got an MFA in painting from George Mason, but he doesn't list this on his resume, for some reason or another. 

As you can see perfectly well for yourself, Thor is a fairly adept illustrator, with the sort of superficial appreciation of Hieronymus Bosch that leaves the viewer curious-- not as to what all this Heavy Symbolism is supposed to be about, but why it is the artist is wasting everyone's time. You only have to look at a genuine Bosch (below) to see the difference between a genuine Apocalyptic Vision and someone who's putting their Lego men into funny positions, to Weird Everyone Out.
