Acrylic, 30x40
This is a painting of one of my sketches glorifying and ridiculing our "wonderful" president.

I started with the simple goal of creating political statements using humor, caricature and elaborate design. Man, in the image of "evolution" as he is, destroys, rapes, and kills to the point where redemption is a teetering question rather than a certain conclusion. As dismal as this worldview may be, I still aim to tease out a visual experience imbued with pleasure and humor. I enjoy mocking the constant chaos we aremired in.

Just a quick line by way of "instant feedback" - you have a well-trained hand for illustration, Jeffrey, but also a youthful tendency to get a bit unfocused (which is why many of the pieces here are a cross between virtuoso drawings and glorified doodles). If you're aiming at political cartooning, go for substance over style (or, at least, don't get so filigree that the point you're maiing gets obscured with fanciful embellishments!) Your style is very trippy, reminiscent of 1960s San Francisco psychedelia :-)
