Lighten Up

Here's a fun little pocket illo for the current Spectator Australia - the serious Tony Abbot and carefree Nigel Farage to accompany James Delingpole's feature article. Cover art for The Spectator Australia: Heading: Lighten up, Tony // Subheading: Your role model is UKIP's Nigel Farage// the seriously boring and scripted Tony Abbott, the Oz PM, should emulate the more relaxed and comfortable Nigel Farage.

Drawn with brush and ink, with a spot of colour added digitally. Here's a pic from the drawing board. You can follow me on Instagram (instagram.com/anton_emdin) to see my work in progress.

The issue is out tomorrow. I also had the pleasure of drawing the cover, which I will post soon.
