Political Cartoons Winter 2026 Video timeline
Between February and March 2026, a distinct political structure began to emerge…
This video presents a curated selection of hand drawn political cartoons created during that period. On my Wacom 23.
Each piece was drawn in real time, as events unfolded. These are not digital composites or automated outputs, but original works, constructed line by line, with deliberate attention to form, symbolism, and narrative. In an age of rapid, disposable media, the act of drawing by hand restores weight to the image. It fixes a moment in place.
Across this collection, familiar figures reappear under shifting conditions. Trump, JD, Columbus, Pam Bondi etc. Their presence reflects something deeper than daily headlines: a continuity of power moving through changing language, context, and public perception.
Taken together, these works form more than a sequence. They operate as a visual archive..documenting not only what occurred, but how it was expressed, framed, and understood in the moment.
This is not satire for its own sake. Nor is it fleeting commentary.
It is a record.
A record rendered in ink. PERMANENT. For life.
Where digital imagery can be endlessly altered and reproduced, hand drawn work carries a fixed authorship.. an unrepeatable mark. It reflects time, discipline, and direct engagement with the subject. Time like 6 hours per cartoon.
For collectors and serious observers of political art, this distinction is essential.
These are not simply images to scroll past. Not memes to dispose.
They are works to return to.
