Caragiale and Stanescu

I've been chipping away at a list of great Romanian writers for the cartoonist rights network in Bucharest.
They have been compiling caricatures of literary icons for a few years now and the massive shows they put on are something I need to see in person one day. Lots of fine contributors from around the globe.
I've made new quick watercolours of Caragiale, a founding father of Romanian satire and Stanescu, a giant of late 20th century poetry. Both men are highly regarded by all walks of life in Romania.
It's fine practice to try and knock off likenesses of these gents.

Obama's new hairdo or "hair apparent"

Barack Obama has a whole new weight on his shoulders (on his head to be exact) with the addition of the famous mountain of hair that can only be grown or bestowed by a member of the Kennedy clan, in this case the silver fox himself, Teddy. This wondrous mane can only bring higher expectations for the man as it accompanied glowing comparisons to the late great JFK, owner of one of history's most commanding hairdos.
Can Mr. Obama live up to such lofty expectations? Only his hairdresser knows for sure.

Bush saves the day!

This is a cartoon I did for the Huffington Post during Bushes recent whirlwind trip to the gulf states. I imagined what the Prez was dreaming about nightly as he slept in those opulent palaces.
Oddly enough, my finishing panel had him returning in triumph to jog around the white house ground with amputee soldiers , which is true and for me extremely sad and disturbing.
Give up your leg and get into a quick photo op with the president and that makes everything alright?
Perhaps my rendering was not that great though of the amputee legs as most folks didn't notice them.

New Dogs in Canada

It's no surprise that the naughty habits of dog owners get passed onto the dogs too.

That is the the essence of the story this illustration accompanies.

slacker doggie

Here is a new Dogs inCanada one asking "do dogs fake it?"

The answer is , of course they do!

At least in my mind.

Titanic play

Here is a new theatre poster I did for a play about the wireless operators on the Titanic.

Theatre Rusticle is putting it on with Patrick Conner and Matthew Romantini playing those unlucky chaps and Lucy Rupert playing the Titanic herself!

Should be a real humdinger.
