Stephen Harper Doesn’t Care About Art People

With all the shenanigans going on in the Canadian parliament at the moment this whole thing feels sort of absurdly moot, but I drew it, I finished it, and up it goes. Current Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been notorious for several funding cuts to arts and culture, saying that Canadians don’t care about art, and canceling the National Portrait Gallery project. This inspired some to fight back with a portrait gallery of their own, and since I still needed a final person for my Interp likeness project, I figured hey, why not take a shot at it. I don’t think it’s as subtly elegant as Rosemary’s (okay every time I look at that picture I laugh for like five minutes) but it’s something.
