i try to behave. really i do. but sometimes the temptation to tiptoe into the political swamp is too much. alleycat studio’s process photos of political caricature sculpts are what sent me over to the dark side today.
first: terrific polymer clay sculpts. i love showing you an artist’s work in progress. i find it to be a really helpful tool, but who is the mystery artist? anyone know? i’d like to give her proper credit, but i couldn’t track down this talented sculptor/illustrator.
second: there is so much rich material for a comedy skit in these unfinished sculpts – think about the headline material alone! bush half baked. giuliani can’t see a thing (this is news?). hey, look over there – hillary is not having a bad hair day because she doesn’t have any hair! and what’s this? condaleeza with that gosh darn fake expression wiped off her face? now why didn’t i think of that? and cheney’s got a gun? step away from the gun, yes you, dick. yikes!
oh my, this is fun. i could keep it up, but i don’t want to hog the blog. go ahead try it – doesn’t matter which side of the political fence you are on, there are candidates from all parties to make you chuckle. what? you don’t believe me? go on now, have a look.
what is it that they say? “laughter is the best medicine” and the other one too – you know, “if i don’t laugh, i’ll cry”. we are pretty deep in the muck. i choose laughter.
many thanks to the really great (and currently anonymous)- artist who created the sculpts and shared her process.
