Obama’s trip to Nevada

Art Director: Ryan Olbrysh for Las Vegas Weekly

Apparently, President Obama declined a meeting with the Governor of Nevada (Jim Gibbons) during his trip to Las Vegas on May 26th. In response, the Las Vegas Weekly contacted me to illustrate this “snub” by contrasting his cozy relationship with Senator Harry Reid to his indifference to the seemingly powerless Governor.

I still enjoy getting tearsheets from illustration jobs--not too many send them anymore. Got some today with a hand-written note from an AD. 2010/03/09
