Oops… the more sharp-eyed amongst you will probably realise I’ve made a bit of a boo-boo on this one. Somewhere in the deep and dark recesses of my mind I thought this year’s Labour Party conference was in Manchester. Er, it’s not, it’s in Brighton (the Tories are in Manchester this year). Ah, well…
It’s been brought to my attention today that my caricature of Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Jack Straw was, well, turning into my caricature of former US President George W Bush. I’m not entirely sure how this happened, but I suspect it’s because I’ve been drawing Straw for so long now that I felt confident that the caricature still worked (or so I thought), so I don’t refer back to my photo references. But I had a look, and, yes, there it was – completely wrong. But why Bush? Well, they both have something of the chimpanzee about them perhaps… Either way, I’ve gone and had another crack at Jack and have come up with the caricature below.
