Happy Halloween 2023!

 As I am rereading The Picture of Dorian Gray, I came across some old sketch that I did after reading it the first time back in 2005. The pages suffered from some water damage after a basement flooding  awhile ago, but I thing that it kind of added to the overall look of the sketches, being that they were done on craft paper. They look and feel very old now. I did a series of three sketch trying to pull off a degradation of his personality and not just an aging portrait. I'm not sure that I accomplished that, but still ok with these. 

These were all done on 9x12 craft paper with colored ink, black ink and colored pencil.

Happy Halloween!

Sh!tshow: Mike Pence

 

In light of the recent 'shocking' announcement that Mike Pence was dropping out of the presidential race, I give you Fly on Pence, a page from my upcoming book, 86 Sycophants, Charlatans, Leeches, and Opportunists of the Donald J. Trump Sh!tshow. This is a collection of caricatures highlighting (low lighting?) the many miscreants of the Trump years. 

The Kickstarter for the book will launch next Monday, November 6th and you can click on the link below to be notified when the launch happens.

SH!TSHOW 

Remember, this is the guy who said that The Donald was anointed by God and then the said anointed one wanted Pence hanged because he didn't overturn the election. And remained loyal. 

P.S. did I mention the the comedian NOEL CASLER wrote the foreword for the book? Well, he did.

SH!TSHOW Book Launch Details

Ok, as the saying goes, sh!t is about to get real! After about two and a half years of working on this project in between gigs and whatnot, the Kickstarter launch for my new book 86 Sycophants, Charlatans, Leeches, and Opportunists of the Donald J. Trump SH!TSHOW will happen on November 6th. It's a quick launch date, but I wanted to get this out there before (or maybe for) the Christmas rush. The campaign will run for a month.

The book is a collection of caricatures with brief descriptions of their, ahem,  'accomplishments.' The foreword was written by the comedian and producer Noel Casler, who worked directly with trump on Celebrity Apprentice.

Be prepared for a social media blitz of promotion, including the cover, artwork and other details. Click on the link below if you wish to be notified when the launch happens. Feel free to share!

Today's Inktober word prompt is 'frost,' so what better person could there be to represent such a chilly disposition that old Jack Torrence freezing his cards off?
