CibbuanoSarah Palin and John McCain - The Morning After
November 10th 2008 22:01
It's definitely a disrespectful idea, but this painting of the McCain-Palin Straight Talk Express on the morning after the election is a hilarious bit of scathing satire.
It's a painting by Zina Saunders, who posted it up on Drawger, along with several other election themed works.
I can't help but laugh at it - the soothing blues give the painting a sorrowful, remorseful look, but the hints of red on the faces, make it look lusty and depraved. The off-kilter glasses are a nice-touch as well.
This image was found on BoingBoing, which notes that Saunders is releasing a book with a collection of these pieces, called The Party's Over.
Saunders is a talented artist, with a knack for capturing the 'look' of her subjects, without making the image look clumsy or awkward, like many other satirical artists end up doing. Her colours are vivid, reminding me of the full colour pictorials that Mad Magazine might have done, with ruddy noses and textured skin.
Here are some of her finer works:
Palin and the Shopping Spree
Maverick John and Calamity Sarah
It would appear that she REALLY doesn't like Sarah Palin.
