Twitter Shaming - Graham Smith
The Boston Globe asked me to illustrate some current events for the Sunday Arts section. It was so much fun illustrating a bunch of awful people who have said terribly racist, or homophobic remarks in public recently, and drawing the writer that shames them via twitter wearing pink slippers, was the icing on the cake.
In case you haven't been keeping up, here's what the mounted heads said, that got them is so much trouble: Read the article in the Boston Globe.
Donald Sterling (Clippers owner)
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people"
Janelle Ambrosia (Dollar store racist lady)
"I called you a n****r. You're a n****r. Nasty f*****g n****r." Watch the video.
Justine Sacco (pr executive)
"Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!"
Clint McCance (Arkansas school board member)
"I like that fags can't procreate. I also enjoy that they often give each other AIDS and die...I would disown my kids they were gay."
Janice Daniels (former mayor of Troy Michigan)
"I think I am going to throw away my I Love New York carrying bag now that queers can get married there."
Cliven Bundy
“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro.”

Illustration Process: First, I sketch the idea really roughly, in pencil. Then I refine the sketch, trying to get the scribbles to look like the people I 'm drawing. That's the refined sketch above. Next step, I've been doing a little differently than the traditional old school method of tracing on a lightbox. Instead, I scan the sketch, and print it onto nicer paper. In this case, Strathmore Smooth Bristol paper. Then I ink the print, which is below, and color the illustration digitally.
