I was happy to see that the iconic image was by far the most popular choice, although I am very unlikely to buy such a print, and would display it somewhere only if a good friend gave me one in seriousness, which is even more unlikely. But the image is inspiring. I did not choose the last category, and was pleased to see no one else had, because while none of these prints call out to my wallet, I expect that one soon will. Good luck, and good fortune!
Love your art. Drawing with graphite is one of my favorite mediums, surprising how much depth you can get from the various grades. One thing I like to do is to mix in ink, usually over the graphite, adds a lustrous shine to the drawing(Farber illustration pens are the best for this as they're water based, helps spread the graphite evenly).
You are most welcome Holly and thank you for posting pics of your art, it helps provide me with motivation to do my own art projects. Too bad substack doesn't allow us to post pics with comments, would share some of my graphite drawings with you so you can see what I'm talking about with the shine from ink.
The lego one interests me least. I think people would like the fight fight fight one the most. Personally, I like your other art better because I’m not one to hang up a political portrait. However, plenty of people do and your style is really cool.
This is very helpful! Thank you. I am much more interested in Halloween and Christmas and nostalgia and some other things than politics as well, but it's a bit too early in the year for those and I really found myself unexpectedly moved when contemplating the anniversary of the assassination attempt. I am still new enough at being an artist that when something other than an interesting shape moves me to want to draw it's fascinating to me. 🤓

Thank you!! And I’m going to try that!
