Gov. Sanford Man of Mystery
June 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Being a state employee of South Carolina, I can’t tell you how many times Gov. Stanford’s name comes up with budget issues. How this guy became governor amazes me with his blatant disregard for the state. South Carolina ranks in the bottom when it comes to education and only behind Michigan in leading the nation in unemployment. How can a state rich in natural resources and geography can be so poor on so many levels? When you compare South Carolina to neighboring states like North Carolina and Georgia, it becomes painfully obvious how backwards the palmetto state is in regards to new technology and lacking diversity economically, culturally and ethnically. I believe this is a blessing for the state as we need new leadership and direction into the 21st century. This stiff is better off taking a “permanent” vacation.

Obama Portrait

obama portrait
I just did a formal portrait of Obama when I stumbled upon the NY Times article…
http://badpaintingsofbarackobama.com/
It looks like he’s a popular subject matter. This particular portrait is odd, in that I don’t have him in his usual upbeat or grinning style. Normally you see Barack as an icon or saint or in cartoons he’s even drawn as real young and with big ears almost stereotypical. I decided or tried to portray him in a moment of crisis or very heavy contemplation. Something you normally never see a president in front of the press. I don’t know if I really succeeded with this one, but I will definitely keep drawing him and perhaps an evolution of drawings will portray him in a new light.
