D.P.F.: Art for Freedom

LINK quote [I wanted to make an art piece that represents each candidate because I thought an iconic portrait of them could symbolize and amplify the absurdity of their missions. I believe each of the candidates will guide this country to a future where everyone can be ridiculous and I should support none of them vigorously for the sake of my unborn children and my beloved dead pets. I have made art opposing this absurd world for several years, and making art of McCain, Clinton, and Obama, is like making art for freedom. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I'm delighted if I can encourage them to see how ridiculous politics in America have become].
