President George Bush Jr caricature (and some extras)

President George Bush Junior takes on the Taliban in Afghanistan. He is fervently supported in this by, on the left,
US Secretary of State Colin Powell and on the right, his own father, former President George Bush Senior.

Some early sketches...

Would it be a chessboard?... Or the map of Afghanistan?...

After all, it became the map of Afghanistan... - Find 10 more differences! :-)

It took a bit of searching to find the right mood this time. Had it been an illustration for adults, I would have worked out the 3rd. But because it was for children I chose the 4th. Less dark, much funnier!

Painted with gouache on A4 Steinbach ''Aquarelle" paper 250gr/m²...

Published in the children's magazine 'Klap', sometime in November 2001...
