Listening to the news yesterday, I just heard a commentary about artistic people in Hollywood:
"They are detached from reality and are juvenile. They create their own world."

I am having an absolutely fun and very pleasant time drawing these little characters which I adapted from Bella Sinclair's style after I saw her illustration which has now become my latest favorite. No wonder Bella always seem so happy and positive and her drawings exude mirth because there is something that evokes the joyful senses when I draw these little darlings. Granted, unlike Bella's illustrations, I toss and plunge these little creatures into and within threatening and unpleasant environments. I mentally infuse each tiny creature with personality and I root for them to survive those who want to harm them like some other little evil creatures that look like them too. Demons walk the earth with us, do you know that? That is why it is always good to have your angels. Such is life, you don't know who Satan pretends to be. I hope Bella forgives me for exposing these little creatures to danger and negative situations, but I am rooting for every little good freedom and liberty loving creature. Some details below.

Okay, my Apple Macbook randomly shuts down. Looks like the battery, which was replaced by a new one last year.  Oh, one more thing before I go. The Constitution is an awesome document that was written as the foundation for our republic. It is not some malleable document which liberals and progressives can interpret and change according to their whims. It was cleverly designed to thwart tyrants and prevent tyranny. That is why many liberals complain about it, even the current president once mentioned that it gets on his way. Think about that. 

Have a great week!

Barackhio, Lord Of The Lies, A Work In Progress

I promised myself, the next time I draw, I will do it leisurely and be meticulous with every detail. The sloths are there to remind me. Well, I am still not meticulous enough. Trying even harder...

Liar, Liar, When Will You Begin Telling The Truth?

Detail of "The Liars' Fancy Dress Ball," No.3 in a series of illustrations depicting liars, equivocators, prevaricators, fabulists, politicians and truth manipulators. I sought to draw political cartoons, yes, cartoons, right? Usually a cartoon is a simplified illustration, sometimes with exaggerated features in a satirical way. Well, I gave myself liberty with the terms exaggerated and satire. This was not a fun experience. While drawing these illustrations, I extensively read and listened to the news, more than I already do which is more than what most Americans I know do. That was torturous, depressing and frustrating. It did not matter what issue was being discussed. Lies, lies, lies, propaganda and more lies. Do the administration, politicians and the puppet mainstream media think we are stupid? It is 2014. I hope this is the beginning of real change for the good of our country, not for political expediency and self-serving policies aimed at promoting and advancing special interest groups. I am praying.
