The Great Climate Sellout

For The Progressive, an article by Ruth Conniff about Obama giving away the store to industry before extracting any concessions from them on the proposed climate bill.


The art’s a play on the logo-plastered walking billboard race car drivers of Nascar -- the pose is a spin on the Will Ferrell movie image, Talladega Nights. I liked linking the car/fossil fuel oil company thing with Obama doing their bidding. 


It runs in color on their ipad/kindle magazine and in B&W on dead wood...

Animation: The Same Bush League Animation

Republicans are back in the House and Bush is back in the news: Watch my sing-a-long animation on Mother Jones...

One of the things I'm really digging about doing these is doing the music. I borrowed a guitar from my neighbor to try to make the melodies a little more...ummmm....sophisticated! Ha!

Heres a link to the cartoon on Mother Jones; join in the chorus!

Election Day for The NY times

They called at 12:30 yesterday, wanting a picture for their letters page, something nonpartisan about voting, sketches due at 3, final by 6. Oy. Nonpartisan.


There was a bit of back and forth and at about 4 I got the go ahead on my ballot boxes on a chessboard idea. 

I had a few sketches featuring voting booths, but you know what? I don't think anybody's gonna know what a voting booth even looks like in a  couple of years; at least at my polling place here they have the scanners now. I miss the old voting booths with the lever and curtains...now you just stand there and fill in the circles like you're taking the SAT. And I was tripping when I took my SATs, so it feels like a bad flashback. 
Here's a link to the art on the Times site.
