Four Romneys

FOUR ROMNEYS: with Mitt Romney looking ever more like the Republican front runner, I thought I’d post a few of my Romney illos, (some very recent, some not-at-all recent).

First is a cover illo for Boston Phoenix in February 2010, art direction by Kristen Goodfriend. (while looking through my files, I came across another Romney-themed Boston Phoenix cover illo from 2007, but that one has a Romney likeness that’s so far from the mark, it’s making me cringe. Sorry, Kristen!).

The second one features Obama, Edwards, Giuliani, Hillary and Romney from the 2008 Presidential election. This was for The Stranger in September of 2007, art direction by Aaron Huffman.

Third up: a Toho Studios-themed illo showing the GOP’s 2012 Presidential candidates as giant radioactive beast trampling a landscape of foreclosed homes. This ran in an issue of Las Vegas Weekly, October 2011, art direction by Ryan Olbrysh

The last and most recent of the four illos features the GOP’s 2012 Presidential candidates getting a snootful of pepper spray on the cover of the SF BAY GUARDIAN, January 2012, art direction by Mirissa Neff.

Four Obamas

Whew. Historically, when I've given money to a campaign, it meant that they'd either lose or drop out, (Dean, Kerry & Edwards). What a pleasure to see things done right for a change!

Here are four Obama illos from the campaign, in chronological order. The first was drawn in September 2007 for Aaron Huffman at The Stranger.



The drawing of a monitor bursting with candidates was for John Elsasser at PRSA's The Strategist in January 2008. A note about this illo: originally, this drawing had Law & Order's Fred Thompson at the top of the group, but just as I was turning in the final art, Thompson dropped out, and Mike Huckabee was on the rise. I did a quick revise, patching in Huckabee's head over Thompson's.





The drawing of Obama painting himself into a corner was a cover illo for C&E Politics, drawn in June 2008 for Jeff Brown. The original concept had Obama and Hillary Clinton engaged in a squabble over who'd slung the most mud. I thought this was a stronger concept, but for whatever reason, the folks at C&E Politics opted for a solo Obama.





Finally, at the close of a Summer laden with cinematic superhero blockbusters, we have Obama and McCain clad in brightly-colored spandex. This was a cover illo for Creative Loafing Tampa, drawn for Jason Hatcher in September 2008. This drawing was a real treat; not only did I get to draw the candidates, but I got to have a crack at few iconic superheroes, which is always fun.
