PW Cover Illustration
I recently illustrated this cover for Philadelphia Weekly. The cover story is about Phil Berg, the first birther who started rallying other nuts to believe Obama was born in Kenya. I was trying to make Berg look as crazy as I think he is in the illustration. The Obamaa in the sunglasses refer to Berg's paranoia. I was trying to make it clear that I was not pro Berg. I went kind of comical with this cover but honestly people like Phil Berg scare the hell out me. I hope this country can really start making steps towards looking past race and religion but it's looks like a lot of people are trying harder than ever to keep that division there.

Thanks, I've been trying to expand my color palette lately based on the subject matter. I feel like this guy needed these colors.
