I have a store on cafepress.com where I sell some of my artwork on t-shirts and journals and stuff like that. Business was pretty slow, so I decided that in order to drive a few more people to my humble little store, I would do some designs for political bumper stickers and stuff, in the hopes that it might send a little business my way. Barack Obama is big right now, and there are scads of designs for him. The two gals in the Green Party, however, had only a paltry sprinkling of designs, so I decided to do some for them.
Now personally, I am a registered independant, which is apparently the scariest kind of voter, as no one seems to know which way the independants will lean, making politics just a little more interesting in the season to come. Which is a good thing, as the situation couldn't get much worse. And while I have no idea what the Green Party stands for, I live for the day I see one of my buttons on someone on the street. I got pumped up enough to draw someone in green pencil. It's a scary departure for me, and who knows where it will lead. You can see some of my political designs at CafePress.com
And prepare for a long political season.

green pencil...incredible...you could draw with anything though and it would be amazing - love it - now must go check out those "green" buttons...
Wow...a fantastic piece!! It's my favorite of yours yet.
Oh, you've done a wonderful job here. It's a little bit creepy. I don't know why. I think it has to do with the mugshot quality of his pose. That with the combination of it being on the tinted paper. There's a nostalgia there that for me recalls wanted posters. Nicely done.
great and GREEN job! really well done...(I support the Italian green party, by the ways)
ciao
Nice work!! must check out your shop! keep it up.
Nice combination of images. Like the aged surface.
I think you could do lovely drawings on any ground using any form of mark making tool. I can't wait until you get your hands on a bulldozer. Andy Goldsworthy, watch out.
Nice drawing and combination of images.
