Clowning around with a governor

This is my perhaps sophomoric attempt to portray my state's now famously clownish Governor. I contributed the cartoon to The Urban Coaster newspaper, which on this week's front page will urge the state legislature to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against Mr. Blagojevich.

It would be interesting to see him morph in stages into one of your more abstract shapes - or another appropriate image.

That's a perfect caricature of him. You've captured his face.

Sad state of political affairs indeed.

I hope the paper uses it. Do let us know.

I think that sophomoric is a perfect description of the governor himself. Good job!

@Dominic Yes ... and that would make a great animation too. If I get ambitious I can try it :)

@Jena I'm afraid it probably just scratches the surface of the political corruption here in Illinois.

@Jakill They did use it, but I'm one of the principals so it had a good chance of getting in ... just had to convince my partners :). If you follow the link you'll see it on the site now.

@Susan Thanks ... welcome to Illinois politics! :)
