This is a pen & ink of LTC Steve Russell (Ret) who is to be the keynote speaker at the Etowah County Republican Party's 2009 Dinner & Fundraiser. Steve Russell and his unit's efforts were chronicled in Discovery's "Ace in the Hole" and BBC Panorama's "Saddam on the Run" documentaries. Steve is highly decorated, the Chairman and Founder of Vets for Victory, and the subject of many books. He's also a committed Christian, Sunday school teacher, as well as an articulate defender of conservative principles. I look forward to hearing him speak.
I rendered this illustration a few hours ago. It is to grace the pages of some area publications. I am still in the process of working on the actual Ad.
Playing on Obama's campaign slogan. I don't think I'm through with this 'Yes We Can!' theme.
I worked this graphic to upload on my facebook account. Feel free to copy it and spread the wealth of love around. May Obama bless you!
My brother in-law Don Rakestraw had this editorial cartoon idea. Don actually has more of a mind for political commentary, but he doesn't draw. So, this one is for you my brother from another mother. It's rare that I use someone else's suggestions, but always appreciate Don's input.
Poor Pelosi. She can't pull a lie off like Clinton or Obama. She blamed The CIA? Man - for a woman she sure does have a set.
There was an original caption to the cartoon above, but it got kind of wordy. "Just ram it into three more icebergs. The additional holes will allow even more water to flow out." I like that idea better - but it was a lot of text.
One idea spurred the other.
About a dozen years or so ago, I met a preacher friend of mine for breakfast at a Bob Evans. We had one of those in Bowling Green, KY. We were talking about life, God, love, and politics. I remember Mark looking a me and shaking his head.
I said, "What?" He said, "David, you are probably one of the most creative people I've ever met and I don't get it." "What don't you get Mark?""That you are such a conservative""meaning?""That most creative types I've ever met are as liberal as you can get. It just doesn't make sense."I know what he was getting at - but since when do I have to check my brain at the door to be a creative type? Sure I am a touchy-feely kind of guy - but that doesn't mean I don't use my brain.
