Five Days To Go

So I sent in my ballot by mail a few days ago. There's something very anticlimactic about doing it that way, but I'm glad that I was able to do it early and make sure that my voice was heard. I just finished this portrait, thought I'd put it up here as a not-so-subtle symbol of who I support.

I know, I know. Not the most original idea, but while I've seen a million Shepard Fairey style Vector portraits of Obama, I've only seen a couple painted portraits in a more classic style. So here's me throwing my hat in there with everyone else. It seems a little stuffy and constrained, but my attempt at a more stylized version started looking a little too comic-booky, which didn't seem appropriate for the subject matter. Hope you like it, and I hope everyone gets out and votes on tuesday, no matter who you support.
