I’ve noticed this vector illustration has been picking up in sales lately on iStock. Can you tell November is coming soon? lol I tired to not favor one political party over another when creating this illustration. Although, if I show it to a democrat, he thinks it makes fun of the republicans. When I show it to a republican, he thinks it makes fun of the democrats. I guess politics is secondary to human nature.



I first sketched this up in Corel Painter 11 and then inked the outlines in Painter with black at 300dpi. Then I vectorized the B/W art and colored it in Adobe Flash. The final step was to get it into Adobe Illustrator so that I could prepare it to be a clean EPS file that will work well in older versions of graphic programs.

Don’t forget to vote!
