Good job Joe! I think these are two of the hardest faces to draw --straight on with little editorial interpretation or exaggeration.
Too bad Romney was cropped; I think the hand is crucial to fun of the piece. It's still good but the lush blobby painting of the jacket is very lively and acts as a foil to the polished face. And the awkward hand pose makes him more human --for better or worse and to good effect.
It's funny to think of Hillary wearing a corporate t-shirt with the slogan. I know this labeling may have been an editorial suggestion (maybe not) but it kind of matches the openness of her toothsome smile. People are slowly recognizing that this is a major part of Obama's velvet glove Asia policy. It's very interesting to see it develop at this exact time.
Alright, back to work!

These are killer. I'm always amazed at how deceptively simple your work is - just a few well placed lines and a little color - but enough to make a strong cover
