Political Cartoons / Hillary Clinton 'Kitchen' Campaign Video

political cartoons Hillary Clinton runs

Political Cartoons (click image above for second larger size) featuring Hillary Clinton running for the 'toughest job in the world.' As if. Inspired by the Clinton campaign 'Kitchen' video, which just irked me. Non-partisan perhaps, but still irkable.



The video features footage of U.S. soldiers, all of whom are doing a job tougher than the one Hillary wants. You can't drive out of your own neighborhood without passing 1oo families working harder and with a lot more to lose than Hill. Glamour, power, influence, free breakfast and big painted portraits...a responsible job with great perks, but not the toughest.

Can she even operate a kitchen?

Taint / Barack Obama 'Big Black Caucus' Adult Sex Cartoons Arc

Taint: Barack Obama big black caucus adult cartoon thread at Something Awful, cartoons having to to do with sex cartoons with adult subject matter

Sketch for the cover of my continuing Taint/Obama story arc.

For those wondering where all the cartoons went
(warning: includes political editorial cartoons on the subject of sex
cartoons having to do with pornograpy, porn and
cartoons with adult & mature subject matter)-


FaithMouse Megathread - Something Awful

Currently one of the most popular threads on the Internet, and one of a number to which I regularly post off-site. Not for children or die-hard conservatives. You'll have to journey through the entire thread to follow the current Taint/Barack Obama masturbation story-arc.

I've pretty much ended the cartoon as an ideological soapbox. It exists now as a purely artistic effort, and has exited the self-aggrandizing echo chamber of the politically anal, especially those organizations and individuals which use Christianity as a cheap and disposable power tool.

Congratulations to Alan Keyes for exiting the Republican Party. Although it dallianced briefly with supporting Ron Paul in the current election, The Constitution Party should make for a nice home for Mr. Keyes. If they screw you as well, Alan-keep in mind that the best political affiliation is probably none.

Knut The Polar Bear Painting Two

Knut the polar bear

Another painting of Berlin Zoo sensation and the somewhat jaded-by-celebrity Knut the polar bear.

"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a trimphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting." - George C. Scott as US General George Patton

Pope Benedict XVI Visits America Cartoons

Two cartoons drawn off the top of my head...

a fake Pope

An obvious papal impersonator, drawn in the 'sketchbook' style of underground cartoonist R. Crumb.

the real Pope, held hostage in a broom closet and about to be freed by a spider monkey

The real pope, held hostage in a broom closet and about to be freed by a helpful spider monkey. Drawn in the style of Dick Tracy creator Chester Gould. 'Al Pacino' is a small restaurant just a few blocks away from the entrance to the Vatican museum.

You can find a few more cartoons featuring both the Pope and Vatican Kitty at my
Pope Benedict XVI Cartoon Page, last updated in 2006. Poke around this site or by way of Google search for additional.

Pray Continuously

Christians should pray continuously
Christians should pray continuously (larger image.)

I've been busily filling the world with beautiful Ebay paintings and haven't spent much time blogging, although I've posted a number of requests to fan boards. The above image is from a recent small oil which is currently available for the humble sum of one dollar.

Political nonpartisanship continues, although I don't mind taking general nods towards the great themes. Life is much nicer this way.

Otherwise I have a flu. That and the snow expected tomorrow for the Twin Cities metro area will hopefully make for a final reenactment of Winter. Begone!

A miniature oil portrait of actor and NRA President Charlton Heston, who passed away last Saturday night at 84.

I finished this painting at about 2 A.M. Monday. You may recognize the facial pose from an old studio pubicity picture; the rifle is my own addition. The original painting looks more impressive than the pic; hard to get a good image from a still-wet painting under anything else than natural light.

Hillary Rodham Clinton Portait, And A Faithmouse Rosicrucian Style Tapestry

Hillary Clinton Democratic Presidential Candidate Portrait - Ebay Auction

A miniature oil portrait of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Clicking on my rendition of the former New York Senator will take you to my special one-day Ebay auction of the same.

Nearly completed portraits included Barack Obama as a muppet and a rendering of Prince Harry in soldier gear, the latter of which I actually began a month or so ago.

Cartooning continues as well, but I've been posting most of my newer stuff to off-site fan forums, many as paid requests. Here's a commission via SA poster Sock It, who suggested a cartoon in the style of a Rosicrucian tapestry-

La Oración De La Más Pequeña

La Oración De La Más Pequeña Amy Winehouse and Hillary Clinton

Just a thought based upon a recent series of popular videos featuring a Chilean midget transvestite known only as 'La Pequeña' who, while dancing badly and speaking in a husky voice, portrays both Amy Winehouse and Hillary Clinton.

My first impression when watching these videos was 'now there's a person who needs Christ!' But then I realized that it was arrogant of me to believe he doesn't know Christ already, in his own way.

I think we all have a natural predilection to project ourselves in some way upon Christ, to bring Him to 'our own size.'

Catholic Themed Drawings

A few of the pencil drawings I finished and posted to my Ebay gallery on Sunday-

Pope John Paul II,suffering pontiff
Pope John Paul II, suffering pontiff. This is the image I'm running as the regularly updating hotlink. In the original photo, John Paul is writing. Here he looks into himself.

Saint St. Padre Pio, Capuchin confessor and stigmatic of Pietrelcina
Saint Padre Pio, Capuchin confessor and stigmatic of Pietrelcina. I drew this almost entirely while riding as a passenger in a car. I use what looks like a graphic device to allude to his ability to bilocate and other mystic abilities.

St. Anne with child Mary iconic Marion image
St. Anne with child Mary. After a photo of a statue of which I'm afraid I don't know the history. Looks French to me. All lines emanate from St. Anne's womb.

I've collected a few dozen new links and post acknowledgements, but I've been so busy building my Ebay gallery that its been difficult keeping up with anything but.

More drawings tomorrow!

He just seemed to lend himself well to Muppetature. I'm looking forward to a presidential cabinet you can actually pick up and put in a cabinet.

Elmo-Health and Human Services, Animal-Department of Defense, Big Bird-EPA, The Count-FEMA, Miss Piggy-Department of Beauty, Stadler and Waldorf-Social Security Administration...you get the picture. If disagreements break out they can always toss each other wildly across the room.

Then they can have guest hosts. Ladies and gentlemen...Raoul Castro! (musical skit about brothers.)

World Trade Center Towers On 9-11 Drawing

A post 9-11 painting of Robocop with breasts-

Sexy Robocop security defends us from 911

Robocop with breasts represents our post-911 DOHS society; reanimated from our economically decimated national Detroit, an impersonal conglomeration of technological and human elements. When we scroll down the page we are confronted finally with the seductive aspect of our super-creation. Do we consider these unreal, artificial appearing breasts to be attractive? Robocop seems to be trying much too hard to convince us that he/she/it is more human than machine. Behind our highly desired security apparatus, 9-11 happens without end. Our defender does not look at the tragedy but at us. The promised sequel does not happen; the original feature is remarketed over and over again.
