I’m probably not the first one that’s made this connection, but I thought I’d whip this up real fast. Using both twitter’s old and new logos.
Or is it better flipped?

Shutterstock and Trump Caricatures
So, I finally got some information I needed yesterday about shutterstock’s rules for stock image submissions.
I have several celebrity caricature and political cartoons that I want to sell for stock images, but they can only be sold for editorial use because they’re images of real people rather than fictional characters and I don’t have a model release. Istock won’t allow illustrations to be sold as editorial stock, but shutterstock allows this, which is just what I needed.
I had a few cartoons and caricatures of Donald Trump, one of which was clearly offensive and kept getting rejected when I submitted it. I suspected it was being rejected due to being offensive, but they never said that. They kept saying they didn’t like my description or the keywords. I gave up on it for awhile, but I tried again a few days ago and I finally got a response that it was rejected due to being an offensive subject.
Which is fair.
It’s also what I needed to know.
My new Trump caricature (below) is very neutral. It’s not quite complementary, but it isn’t offensive at all. I figure this one should easily pass shutterstock’s censors and, based on my sales of my other Trump images, it should sell reasonably well also.

You’re Fired!
Here’s another Donald Trump caricature. I think the last one turned out better, but this one’s okay. I don’t think I got his face quite Trump-y enough, but he’s still recognizable so I’m calling it done.
This one’s inspired, of course, both by his iconic catch-phrase and by his recent firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates.

Donkey ROTFL
Cartoon of a braying jackass. Literally rolling on the floor laughing.
There are plenty of perfectly nice donkeys in
the world, but this guy is a braying jackass.
Political Cartoon – Liar!
Alternate lines for the flies (Fly 2 would need it’s upper left arm propped on it’s waist instead of it’s current position):
Fly 1: I wish I knew who was telling the truth.
Fly 2: They both are.
Fly 1: I wish I knew who was telling the truth.
Fly 2: Oh come on. You know which one produces the most shit.
Daredevil and The Blind Activist
Just a very sketchy little sketch.
Pictured: Chen Guangcheng and Daredevil.
Daredevil (with arm around Chen): You and me, Chen. What do you say?
For those of you less dorky than I am, Daredevil is a comic book superhero who is blind.
