Political Games


I've been creating an ongoing series - combining portraits of famous political figures with board-games which they might be associated with. Here's a consolidation of the portraits thus far.

Queen Elizabeth II


I've been doing a series portraying politicians in the context of board-games and game pieces. While Queen Elizabeth is technically a figurehead as opposed to a head of state, I thought this House of Cards theme seemed to suit her well. This drawing measures 20" by 32".

"I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice 
but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion 
to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations."
