According to modern definition of tabula rasa, the idea that the individual can be changed remains, but the power to effect that change is now ascribed to society, not the self - and that power extends to the whole of human nature. Under this view, one can shape the individual with few, if any, restrictions by changing the individual’s environment, and thus sensory experiences. As the Lockean idea of "natural rights" no longer holds any meaning under such a view (because "natural" now means whatever society chooses to define), all such schemes end up moving towards one form or another of totalitarianism.

Todd Lawson grew up in Southern and Central Florida, surrounded by art deco and Mexican and Cuban folk art. Currently living over a thousand miles north in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his wife, his work has continued to explore the similar visual aesthetics and complex narratives he grew up admiring, while helping him to create paintings and dimensional work that also tends to pull many strong influences from Americana’s past, such as; comic books, classic toys and retro paranoid advertising. Todd’s work has graced many international commercial projects and has been displayed through out North America; including San Diego, Seattle, Utah, New Mexico, Canada as well as the United Kingdom. As well as artwork, Todd has worked as a designer and art director for over half a decade in advertising.
