Really enjoying working with looser line work and washes lately. Never thought I'd get the hang of B/W work! This is from a speech from Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, in Madison, Wisconsin on Sept 17. "Today in America, the great middle class that has been the envy of the entire world, is collapsing, poverty is increasing, while the wealthiest people in this country have never had it so good." Published in The Progressive.
I was born and raised in Vermont. Wasn't uncommon to pass ol' Bernie on the streets of Burlington back when he was the mayor. having seen the guy first hand more than once, I can attest that this is spot on. Great work.

Thanks Nick and Zach. I've been working on big colourful compositions lately, so it was nice to work on something stripped down.

American senators usually qualifies for scum of the earth, but NOT this guy.
Very bright man with a healthy world view. Hell, I'm even following him on Twitter.
Great illustration Jacqui! Did him justice, for sure!

Excellent illustration, Jacqui! Bernie Sanders is one of the few senators we have left that tells it like it is. A historic speech.

Thank-you Nick, Daniel, Robin, & Sergey. Chris, so pleased you think I've captured him. It's the out-of-sorts hair that did it, right?
