"'But suppose God is black', I replied."


I did this in honor of the fortieth anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in Los Angeles.

My supervisor at the Science Center was out today, and it was kind of a slow day anyway, so I had a lot of time to sit and draw as I sat behind the front desk. These are some sketches I did in preparation for the cartoon you see above. Also, I got my paycheck today, which means I'm going shopping tomorrow at the art supply store (WOOHOO!)

Another Hilary-ous reason to keep fighting Obama


Here is my latest endeavor in the field of political cartooning. I think I like drawing political cartoons in a looser style to give them more of a New Yorker feel.

Additionally, this is a study I did of an Obama caricature by Rick Meyerowitz on Stephen Heller's NYT blog.

Finally, I've found that even though he is quite a bit more conservative than I am, I love the art of Michael Ramirez. When I was in grammar school, my mother used to get this opinion paper called the Conservative Chronicle that was littered with Ramirez's work. Since I've long since formed my own political values, it's really refreshing to be reacquainted with him.
