Another quick one

I think I'm picking up speed on these pieces. This particular one I didn't even have sketches done, just a few words of a concept.  I can take just about any bit of an idea and work it into something good.









This has a couple narrative threads, maybe more if you stretch it.

See what you can find.

I feel it.

So, here's a finished piece based on one of the sketches I've been throwing out there.

Incidentally the damage Sanders would do is equal to what Trump and Clinton would do to our culture. You know, that culture that has freed and lifted the prospects of probably billions of people by now, on the planet.   That would be our foundational political structure and the ensuing culture that was allowed to grow and flourish under that design.

But, butbut....many would say, and what about this or what about that others would wail.

Who cares about the imperfections? I don't. Imperfections are a fact of human life and complaining about lack of supposed perfection in one area or another does not diminish one bit the vast amount of good the American sociopolitical structure has done for the ENTIRE Planet and continues to pursue however laborious the effort seems in the current era.

Time to relax for a bit

All the damn politics in our permanent campaign country really are bad for peace and prosperity.
It all adds to societal stress and all that entails.

I took a break from trying to lampoon politicians to make a cute bunny baby in Photoshop.
I've been working my butt off to get better at PS painting and I like the way this one turned out.

A Few More Sketches

Here's a few in a couple different drawing styles. That's 4 mostly clean drawings while executing household duties concurrently...

Quickie Editorial

I'm still polishing my editorial style. I think I have most of it dialed in but I like what I did figuratively on the Obama piece rather that the "quick" style I did here.
I also need to decide how I want my style for individual people to look like, like Michael Ramirez who has a particular "Obama", "Hillary", etc. that he always uses.

This one is not bad narratively, just the cohesive character style needs polishing.
