Thomas

Found an old etching of Jefferson, colorized it some in PhotoShop,
(I think it reminds me of a Peter Max painting) and finally I cropped it taking into consider the rule of thirds, trying to place his face on one of the four "hot-spots," and having him look into the negative space. It's kind of campy and cartoony, but then, so am I.
This all started because wanted to illustrate one of his quotes on my political blog http://tedscolumn.blogspot.com

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive."
- Thomas Jefferson
