Illustration Friday - Perspective


To show I'm not against all Republican politicians, this is a portrait of former Republican Senator Charles Mathias from Maryland. He recently passed away but had an impressive career in Washington that included campaigning for civil rights reform and preserving the Chesapeake Bay. I chose to draw him for this week's Illustration Friday because the word is "perspective" and I think a liberal Republican may change some people's perspectives on politics...then again maybe not nowadays. I'm only 30 but I can't recall the parties ever being this divided. I'm definitely more on the left but I'm hoping both sides can start working together.

I'm a generation older than you and I don't remember anything like this either. There are no liberal Republicans anymore. And moderate Republicans are being marginalized. Republicans seem to be content being defined by the most conservative among them.

Hey Tim, I agree it seems like The Republicans today let their most extreme members do all the talking to act as lobbyists for their party. I just can't get behind this every man for himself mentality. To me that's not patriotism that's just capitalism gone wild. Hopefully the Democrats can find a good way to show those on the fence that the actions of the last 8 years are not the answer today.

Thanks Shannon, I appreciate your comment and please stop by again soon, I have a lot of new work coming.
