I would like DU's 2 cents about my protest poster

Last edited Sat Apr 19, 2025, 06:11 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm working on a poster for the April 19th protest. Hopefully my drawing resembles that thing that's occupying the White House. I don't have a tracer art projector.


I would to say "IF SHIT HAD A FACE" written on my poster. I'm not 100% if that's what I want to go with because I don't know if young children will be attending this Saturday's protest.


Let me know what you would write on this poster. I haven't decided and it's obviously not finished just yet.


I'm on my way out the door to go to work but I'm picking up several colors of craft paint after work.





4/19/25 Edit: update of finished poster.

His comb over goes the other way. Can you take the comb over and. turn it into Karadeniz Apr 2025 #10
The direction of his combover varies... LuckyCharms Apr 2025 #11
We see the direction differently. It always looks like the photo, but goes the Karadeniz Apr 2025 #12

That would make it instantly recognizable. I would also add some jazz hands, only TINY.

Come up with something along those lines that is snappier. I think pushing the he doesn’t care about regular folks will carry more weight as it speaks to his actions vs his innate ignorance/stupidity/narcissistic personality.

Outstanding drawing! And the colors will really make it pop!

I think your saying is good! As another poster suggested, "poop" vs. "shit" would be good considering the potential for young children in attendance!

Very, very well done!

I always worry about what children see. I didn't realize that people were taking them to protest and exposing them to working middle finger signs.

I'm not a prude but I worry about what children see.

I see the picture going the same way as in the drawing, but it doesn't matter since caricatures are meant to capture a likeness, and not be exact anyway.

And the drawing really captures the likeness.
