“The Defiant One.” (c) 2015 Michael J. Barnes.
There is one good thing about being out of work: I have had a lot of time to discover various styles and techniques. With that said, I have finally discovered a cartooning style that I like and think I will continue to use.
This piece I have names The Defiant One. This political cartoon depicts President Obama’s recent announcement of his “need” to bring out his veto pen even before the new congress began its new session. In this illustration, Obama wields his Veto Pen to fend off the offense of bill swinging Republican congressional leaders, while Congress Minority Leader Pelosi offers the President her favor.
For this illustration, I pulled out a piece of software I haven’t used in a while… Corel Painter. I hope you like it.

“Koolaid Party.” Digital Illustration. (c) 2013 Michael J. Barnes.
“Latest Work” is a bit of a misnomer, this is a commissioned work I actually created for a conservative blog post back in July 2013. However, under a mutual agreement, I was not permitted to reveal it until now. The assignment was to illustrate how Democrats are all “Drinking the Koolaid” when it comes to Obamacare.
At the time of this posting, I am unsure if the blog posted the article.
