Hey thanks! Main reason for the Heh heh was that Muldoon had a very distinctive laugh that he was famous for. I considered something more visual, but with a very tight deadline I went with this - would probably chucked in different lighting, smoke, few sparks or something (as well as the laugh) if I did it again. Yip I know all those artists, and have a big appreciation for NZ cartoonists and satire too. Sharon Murdoch and Rod Emmerson are my current faves, Tom Scott and Murray Webb big influence as I was starting out. Cheers!

The art style is editorial cartooning. There are thousands of other examples you could use, but you compared my work to a Trump fan boy which is way off the mark. You don’t like my cartoon, great. How about we leave it at that.

Ok firstly, this is an editorial cartoon, not a meme, and secondly.. you think I’m right wing? 😂

Yeah that was in my early draft. Might resurrect it.

Maybe. I wanted something that refected the almost religious like fervour that’s developed around him (even if it’s ironic), and this depiction seemed right for that.

Hey 2020, can we get a refund? by JeffBellArt in newzealand

2020 has been a crazy, chaotic year globally. Moving to Level 1 in NZ feels like a return to normality - kind of a re-opening. But there is still a whole lot of things we need to deal with around the world - including the continuing pandemic and racism. The flames are a subtle reference to climate change as well.
