Political Cartoons

I’ve always been interested in political cartoons. I think in my case it comes from reading or hearing about something extraordinary, and not knowing exactly what to do about it. Well, here is my new coping mechanism. While I’m sure I won’t actually be affecting whatever the particular situation happens to be, I will, at the very least, be able to vent a little. Hopefully I’ll be able to give someone else a chance to think about it too.

Here’s an image I created to help a movement started by the owner of Chesterfields Cafe to convince our newly elected mayor to join our Movember group.

After several friends posted the image on the mayor’s facebook page, and he consented, I changed it in recognition.

Bad decisions in a Halloween costume prompted this image.

It’s amazing that in this era of air travel something like this could go on.

Well there you go. As more come along I’ll post them under a Political Cartoon category. Enjoy!

 

 

Movember. Decisions, decisions…

Maybe you can help me. I have decided to join Movember this year. For those of you who don’t know, Movember is a charity that asks men to grow a mustache, and then use that burgeoning power to collect donations for prostate cancer research. My own Movember page can be found here, but wait. My issue is that I can’t decide what kind of mustache to grow. This is where you come in. I’ve put together 4 illustrations of potential stache styles. Take a look at each one, and then comment on which you like best. I will compile these results, and which ever one is most popular will be the one I go with. OK? Here we go.

I call this one rural sophistication. This one will take the most amount of daily care, and likely the most amount of stares at the grocery store. The illustration is an unaltered watercolor.

This one is the biker. Of course, I’ll be riding a little 77 Honda rather than a great big Harley, BUT- my insurance is way cheaper. The illustration is a ball point pen drawing with digital coloring.

This one is just cheese. Hence the yellow background. Cheeeeesy. The illustration is a pencil sketch with digital coloring.

This one is the Depp. I call it the Depp, because I stole Johnny Depp’s hair in order to make it. I’m sure he won’t mind, he looks good with a hat on anyways. The illustration is comprised of digitally altered photographs.

Well there you have it. Leave a comment below on which you like best, and check back Nov 1 to see which one was most popular. Also, please consider donating to the Movember cause, men everywhere will thank you.
