This piece for Mother Jones entitled What’s the Matter with Sam Brownback? is a melange of homage, if that is really a phrase. An article on the beleaguered Conservative Governor of Kansas channels Hitchcock’s iconic image from the film North by Northwest, a touch of Grant Wood, torch wielding villagers from Frankenstein and the Thomas Franks book What’s the Matter With Kansas?. Given all that it’s still pure Roberto Parada.
ILLUSTRATION AGE 
Another beautiful work !
illustration with a heavy use of photographic reference were they have virtually copied the photo is not the best illustration
I see your point, but I don’t recall any flaming pitchforks in NXNW. It is as I mentioned, an homage. In this case i believe concept is king, not necessarily illustrative chops.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply
Hi Mark, I am also sorry for the late reply, I am new to wordpress so still getting used to it. I apologise for my negative comment, I had too many whiskies that night so I am sorry , I dont want ever to dismiss another artist. personally if it succeeds in selling the message its good illustration.
Hey John,
I’m going to have to disagree with you again. Comments after drinking whiskey is the BEST way to do it. No worries. I for one don’t mind “negative” comments. It adds something to any conversation and I firmly dislike commentary that is “all positive, all the time”. Thanks for weighing in.
Cheers, (Raises tumblr of Jameson)
