Politics can be a real "Circus"

I posted these two cartoons for the last contest "Caricature." (I wish now I'd posted my Britney Spears "Wheel" for caricature.) Oh well.
I drew these after the presidential candidates announced their selections for vice-president.
Do you see John McCain's face in the elephant?

And The Winner Is... Sorrento!

The winner for the "Caricature" challenge is:

Sorrento!

Congratulations to Sorrento. I chose Sorrento's (Maria R. Vallese) "Caricature!" as the winner for the Caricature challenge. Sorrento was happy with the challenge as, she said, caricatures are her specialty. She's right. You should check out her blog. Her Janis Joplin is spot-on - beautifully colored, perfectly caricatured, instantly recognizable, and darn-right fun! I see Maria R. Vallese going a long way as an illustrator. Great work!

Sometimes I look back on the challenge, examining all of the entries, and I weep. I curl up, sucking my thumb, crying like a baby. You artists are all so good, it's so unfair for anyone to have to judge a winner. A few of my favorites were DoodleDesign - Cheeky Kids and Meet the In-Laws - Vicente - Nicolas Sarkozy (excellent and very professional, with classic ink shading) - Doodlestreet - Michael Jackson - and I always love Barry's amazing art - Beatle Beetle - and, of course, our very own Pascal's wonderful work (and incredible volume!).

Caricature

I did this awhile ago, right at the time of the election. It seems the sentiment implied here has faded a bit.

Caricature...

Did these two fellas...Hang on they're me! Trying to get to grips with caricaturing and so please forgive me if they don't look like the same guy or if they look like me (although who would know...?)

This is the closest thing I've come to a caricature.

Caricatures of Kings: King Richard I and John Lackland

John (on the right) has his brother's face, distorted by greed and treachery. Both men, history tells us, were caricatures of kings. Richard "spoke very little English and spent very little time in England (he lived in his Duchy of Aquitaine, in the southwest of France), preferring to use his kingdom as a source of revenue to support his armies"

Medium: Acrylic Paint and collage.

Beatle Beetle

The Fab Five

An illustration of an eight-legged Beetle, done back in '04. Included in the book: "Beatles Art: Fantastic New Artwork of the Fab Four" by Linda Webb. I already posted this one for another challenge, but thought I'd be a good citizen, and recycle.

Caricature!

 

Janis!! I am so glad that this is our topic this week, since I have been unable to post because of my busy schedule. Either way, this is my specialty and Janis is my favorite caricature so far!
