Ben Garrison is a great politician artist. I’m impressed by his work in line and tone. The light and dark patterns help to provide balance. Sometimes Ben’s work can become too busy and crowded, because he wants to say so much. The Garrison pieces I’m seeing today for this particular FR post are not choked with imagery, and work quite well.
Since I rarely buy newspapers anymore, I miss seeing the few good artists still doing political commentary on a regular basis. Notice, Ben is able to get his point across without taking the easy way out, which is to glaze everything with sex or lewd innuendo.
Most of the Lib artist will chose that method of ‘glyphs.
