Sketch o’the Week: JFK!

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, so I thought I’d share some JFK caricatures and art I’ve done over the years. The above sketch was part of a series I did in 2015 of all the U.S. Presidents. What did I do them for, you ask? As part of a centerpiece arrangement for the 2015 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award Banquet, held that year in Washington DC. It was my final Reubens as NCS president, and The Lovely Anna did the centerpieces. She popped her head into my studio one day and said “I need you to do individual caricatures of all forty four US Presidents to use for the Reuben centerpieces. Thanks!” I like being married to her so I did not argue.
