Name That Reblublican!!!!


So 3 years ago I was hired by Chronicle Books to illustrate a series of trading cards poking fun at the funniest members of the GOP. It was probably the best time I've ever had doing a job though the worst thing about being an artist is looking back on past work and thinking of how your style has changed and probably improved. Though I think I've grown as an illustrator since then I am still loving these cards for what they are. The writing is really funny and Design Army in DC did a great job laying these out and adding color. I definitely recommend checking these out via the link I've added at the top right. Forgive my ink lines, it WAS way back in 2007 after all haha.

Thanks Marcelo and Donny, I figure with everything going on in politics today these would be a fun way to lighten the mood.

I think all of us look back at old work and wonder, "what the hell was I doing/thinking?" It's part of the job that gets left off of the description.

Nice job handling a bunch of our fearless leaders

Thanks John, it's good to hear that other illustrators look back on their work in the same way. I guess the up side is that our current work is always going to better than our past work.
