Greetings ATS- I come with an offering

Hello ATS'ers. I've been using the site for probly close to 2 years now.. Havent posted much- mostly been a quiet (paranoid) observer. I noticed when i canceled my cable and stopped giving so much credence to the MSM I started to change a lot as a person. I have been following politics in general since college in the Bush V Kerry days but lately Ive become insatiable. I've become that guy that doesnt post anything personal on facebook anymore- its all alt news articles of things that I want my friends to pay attention to. I dont think I've made much of a dent in anyone's opinions but I'm keeping at it because I think its important. Recently I've been trying to find new ways to reach out, so I've gotten into illustrating. Lots of different things, but occasionally a political cartoon. As part of my welcome I'm attaching my most recent work. Let me know what you think.




Don't consider this in any way an endorsement of Romney by the way. They are both the same person as far as I'm concerned. If i have to redraw the face next year I will- right before i pack up for Canada. Feel free to grab the image and use it however you like, just give me credit if you don't mind It DID take me a number of hours to put together.. mostly because making Obama look evil was more difficult than I expected. Still doesn't look exactly like him but I think I got it close enough.

Welcome officially to ATS. Great Art work, look forward to seeing your future contributions, weather it be posts or artwork.

I agree great artwork! Hello and welcome!!

Nice...and sweet. Since you mentioned Romney...you can do the same one with him. The sentiment is the same...

Nice work!! It is exactly what I see in my nightmares.

Welcome to ATS!

Thanks guys! Figured this crowd would dig the work more than the folks at deviantart

I think your artwork is Awesome...should be on permanent display in the
White House, along with all the other past Presidents...

Welcome to ATS...hope you brought your flame retardant jammies...

Des

as a fellow artist (tattoo) this work is very nice! airbrush?
you captured the 'evil' part very well.
subtle , but apparent.just like obama!!!
welcome aboard and i look forward to more art work!!!
you may have potential customers here with that type of subject matter!
peace

I like it a lot. One with constitution would be well received I imagine. Welcome!

Thanks for the picture! You said we could use it, right? So, think I'm gonna print it and put it in the back window of my truck and see who bites. I already get comments about my Ron Paul 2012 sticker [all positive so far].
In the grocery store the other day, I and another man got into a discussion of how Obama is ruining this country.
Seems there is no love loss between him and many people I've talked to. I am actually afraid of him being re elected. He's done so much damage, a 2nd term is unthinkable. Not a Romney fan either, but Obama is a nightmare.

@reficul- Thanks for the props! The bulk of the piece was actually drawn in photoshop with a graphic tablet. Then some of the props such as the plate, stack of money, are manipulations of photos brought in digitally. Potential customers would be GREAT esp with my day job about to go tits-up in this economy

@Domo1- constitution is already in there- its the napkin around his neck I didnt go too overboard with symbolism but theres a few little things here and there- he has a illuminati symbol pin, the knife pointed towards the viewer, the bloody money, the red/white place setting..

@DAVID64 - absolutely print it out and make use of it. This one's a freebee for the community. I'm flattered that anyone wants to use it
