The last couple of days I've been drawing caricatures of the current presidential contenders. I've just been doing it for fun to relax between reading scientific journals. Yesterday while I was working on Gingrich's face my wife looked at it and said, "He looks like Krang." After that statement there was only one thing to do- stick him in the robotic Krang body from the animated series.
Here's my caricatures of Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul as well. I also included some quotes from the candidates - just for fun.
The caricatures are really great, and I think you've picked a perfect quote to represent each one. Through no fault of your own, it makes me mildly nauseous to look at them. I mean, I'm perfectly aware that Obama is no kinda perfect, but these guys, just wow. Gonna leave it there before I get more depressed. Love the art, though. ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks! Finding a good quote for Ron Paul was actually a bit difficult. I agree with some of that guy's ideas, but he's so heartless it makes me uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteThe Santorum quote cracks me up. It can definitely have a double meaning. Perhaps a little autobiographical for him?
