Here is my first published (hopefully) political cartoon. Hillary was by far the hardest, believe it or not. Some people have told me that my Barack Obama looks like a vampire (Eddie Munster, blog, not Count Dracula). For John Edwards I was going for a weird beaver looking guy. John Edwards was the most troublesome because he's actually quite a good-looking fellow.
I've entered into a loose collaboration with a fellow from Kansas City doing political cartoons and caricatures. If all goes well, it might really turn into something for me. Isn't that exciting news, blog?
Tonight, Jay Lincoln was nice enough to pass off an opportunity to get a paying caricature gig to his students this week. I ended up getting the job and i had a blast. oh, blog, I wish you were there! I drank Severeal beers and people kept feeding me lamb from the third floor.
My friend Kira was nice enough today to sit still while i drew her from across the room. I'm going to color this one and throw it on my mailer that we have to make for Marketing & Business Practices for Illustrators. word.
