This week we can expect-well, really only one drawing this time. One; because after last night, I only have the energy for one drawing, and two; I have to express my rage and grief.
Lady Liberty Weeps: Poor Lady Liberty. What else can you say?
To the rest of the world, on behalf of my beloved yet misguided country, I'm so sorry.
I didn't vote for Trump, so I'm at least at peace with myself. But I am angry. I am ashamed. I am heartbroken. I am struck to the core at how this could actually have come to pass-that we let the biggest joke walk into the White House.
But you know what? This isn't the end.
While I may need more time to grieve, I will do what I can to fight for the things I believe in, the America I believe in. An America that welcomes foreigners with open arms. An America that loves Muslims alongside Christians. An America that respects women and their rights. All these things and more. I will do everything I can with my heart and my drawing utensils. I say 2017 is going to be the Year of the Artist, because whether it's on a piece of paper or on a stage, we'll need them now more than ever. It will not be a year of prosperity-it will be a year of productivity and revolution.
I will continue to draw Lady Liberty in the stages of this upcoming administration.
