Politics and the Oscars

8x13", graphite, ink, and digital

Hey guys. This is a spot illustration for an article about how the Academy nominated movies this year are movies with reduce the political to the personal, and drain out the greater contexts of the stories of history.

I tried out a lot of new things I've been looking at in this piece, and it felt like "shoot from the hip" art. I'm wavering about how much I like it. I think that it's a good and effective illustration, but I don't know if this way of working is a good fit for me.

i liked this one, it's a good solution to the problem. The drawing of the hands is also really nice.
