John F Kennedy

This portrait of President John F Kennedy was sparked by a line from a famous speech he gave to 450,000 West Germans, "Ich bin ein Berliner" ( I am a Berliner). This 1963 speech was delivered during the cold war, bringing comfort to West Berliners who feared an East German occupation.

Presidential Movie Quiz

Here's a new piece for American Way, the magazine of American Airlines. It accompanies a movie quiz - which asks trivia questions about presidents portrayed in movies and TV shows. From top to bottom the presidents are George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, JFK, Bill Clinton, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln. I was asked to use red and blue as colors - which is perfect for such a patriotic theme.
