Spent my morning finishing a new banner for my Bluesky account. The old one I’d been using for years, promoting my books to little effect, so I thought it might be fun to draw something upbeat yet offensive to mark a fresh departure on my social media adventure. Plus, I liked the idea of drawing Trump and Musk butt naked. It's a bit like drawing Nigel Farage, which I find endlessly fascinating. They say it takes years for an artist to capture a person’s true beauty. I can certainly say it’s taking me years to capture that man’s inner hobgoblin. Every time I try to draw him, I want to make him worse than the last time.
As for Musk and Trump, I’m a firm believer in dragging them down the fundamentals of our shared humanity and remembering that they’re like all of us, albeit slightly flabbier.
