The VP Debate
Posted by Zina Saunders at 2:22 pm on October 3rd

An energizing bunny boosting the base on the world stage. So much winking and wonking crammed into 90 minutes was a sight to behold.

Who cares what they ask? One -- two -- three -- KICK!

Palin on Paleontology
Posted by Zina Saunders at 9:04 am on September 30th

In keeping with Creationist theory, Palin is quoted as saying that humans and dinosaurs co-existed on Earth a mere 6,000 years ago. Yee-HAW Sarah!


 

Ride 'em, cowgirl!

The Creation of McCain
Posted by Zina Saunders at 8:08 am on September 29th

It's alive! It's alive!

McCain's campaign mastermind Steve Schmidt, veteran of Bush's 2004 campaign under Karl Rove, exults in his creation!

Lumbering out into the world, Mackenstein made his way into the Village. The Ladies of The View took up their torches to fend off the Monster, saving the day ... this time.

Who knows what Steve'll whip up next?

I sent this illustration, "Playing House," to The Nation and they're running it in this week's issue.

Thanks to Nancy Stahl for creating the Women's Work gallery of political art here on Drawger -- it's been a big inspiration in creating these images lately -- stay tuned for more.

A Fun Cover
Posted by Zina Saunders at 6:35 am on September 3rd


I've had a great summer, too busy with work to leave town, not that I'd want to. When I leave the city, after the initial novelty of a different locale wears off -- within a day -- I just want to come back home.

Here's one of the summer assignments, a cover for Mortgage Banking Magazine. It was to illustrate an article about rewriting laws in Washington to protect against another housing fiasco like the one we're experiencing. I immediately thought I'd like to do a candlelit scene to give it a dramatic "burning the midnight oil" vibe. I looked at some Georges de La Tour and Gerard Dou paintings online for inspiration and instruction, and had some fun.
 

Just a little closer

Emmylou Harris
Posted by Zina Saunders at 8:26 am on August 4th

I recently did this portrait of Emmylou Harris for The Wall Street Journal. It was a fun opportunity for me to revisit her music and discover how great she still sounds (and looks!)

 

 
At the beginning of her career, she was discovered and performed with Gram Parsons, who died of a drug overdose in 1973, at the age of 26. He introduced her to true country music and their collaboration was important not only to their own music, but to country music as a whole.

Here they are, back in the day:
