This is an upcoming magazine cover I did for Robert Tracinski's The Intellectual Activist. The main article is a discussion on how Marxism is creeping into mainstream America.
NOTE: The wall space under the graffiti is where additional copy goes.
Emanuel is a serious Democrat insider. He made his bones in Chicago poliltics (not known for the cleanest tactics) as senior adviser and chief fund raiser for Mayor Richard Daley in'89. Went on to be a Clinton adviser from '92 to '98.

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks has opened up his fat mouth once too often. Insider trader allegations have Mark Cuban in an uproar.
Watched "Immortal Beloved" recently. Gary Oldman is terrific as Ludwig Van Beethoven. And of course, the music is profound and utterly monumental.
Time to vogue here in Atlanta. Madonna is gracing us with her diva-ness this week. Lucky star, indeed.
I like my holidays like I like my turkey meat: dark.
On a lighter note, I just wanted to acknowledge all the creative commenters who've made this site so interesting to produce. Thanks for all the encouragement and energetic flow of ideas. And a special thanks to all those who purchased my work this year.
May you find the Giving Season healthy and inspired.
