Not sure why but i stumbled upon these two political illustrations, but i really like them quite a lot. Especially the first three, theres just so much 'interaction' with the audience. HAHAH.
"Lord Kitchener Wants You" 1941
Alfred Leet
"Who's Absent?" 1915
John Bull
"Uncle Sam Wants You" James Montgomery Flagg
1916
I like how this quite serious issue is depicted by this quite humorous (and retarded) old man staring straight at the viewers, probably to exert 'pressure' on them.
But it's just so funny.
And its a good way to get its message across.
"Hope" Shepard Fairey
2008
This, I guess its just iconic, but its really good too. No eye contact, but representational stance and expression.
This isn't as humorouus as the previous ones but I guess having a close up portrait of one's face is quite a good idea to sway hearts.
This is what i tried to do. Significance of the balloons and Superman shall not be discussed yet.
Superman with "comparably" tiny balloons. Cute and gay eh?
So I was debating whether I should add words to this sketch, like will it spoil its comedic effect or add understanding for viewers?
I AM SAD I CANT DECIDE.
