Drawing Trump In Shorts
The evolution of drawings of a man
During the 2016 Primaries, editorial cartoonists furiously produced drawings, myself included. I was angry. I pushed myself.
After a few drawings, I began to draw Donald Trump in shorts. Simply because he acts like a schoolyard bully.
That may not sound like a lot to you, but I am a pretty quiet person, and was raised to be nice to everyone, if I could. I am conflict averse as well. Reconciling my embedded character traits with wanting to draw political cartoons has never been easy. But I did it. I put Trump in little boy pants. My audience loved the symbolism.
Then he was elected President.
