Prolific anti-Trump stalwart illustrator Edel Rodriguez-known for his TIME magazine "Melt Down" covers-produced 2 images, seemingly overnight. Satirical illustrator and caricaturist Steve Brodner cropped in on an earlier Trump portrait, one of many he has created, for maximum effect. Others, like myself, created something new. As Robin Landa said on Facebook, "Designers: We need to flood social channels with protest posters."
So here is my contribution; a collection of protest posters from artists and designers who refuse to sit by silently and let hate win. Share your political art with us @printmag.
Edel's "Take It Down".
