Mean Cuisine

We did a color theory assignment in class examining the way marketing and advertising uses color to manipulate consumers and cater to specific demographics. The idea was to take a product targeted to one demographic, for example women, and alter its color scheme to appeal to another demographic, for example men.
For my example I tried to give Lean Cuisine a makeover to sell it to dudes, complete with douchy Ed Hardy tribal designs to replace the cutesy curly q vectors.

I'm doing a special editorial cartooning lesson with another class from another school and we had just finished our brainstorming session and were getting to go around the class to share our ideas. I drew the POTUS on the board to spur those who didn't want to share into speaking up.

In retrospect, I think I tried to cram in too much into it and it should have stuck with just the NSA or just drones, because while the NSA has fed data to the CIA drone program the NSA doesn't actually use drones themselves..... yet.

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day!

For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade.
In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.
The conqueror rode in a triumphal 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.

An unorthodox color wheel example for art class.
Sadly this cute lil  guy's bichromatic vision lacks the third cone necessary to see the colors of his own rainbow wig.
