My current work is a combination of caricature, photo collage and photo manipulation. I got interested in "remix" culture back when that was a thing. The Bush 43 administration’s Iraq lies and resulting mass death and displacement of people compelled me to comment on events through my artwork and I have continued since. Think of my caricatures as the "Picture of Dorian Gray" painting of my subjects hidden in a dark closet, or perhaps a vision of the subject from the Uncanny Valley.

Since 2o15, I have served as Image Editor for WhoWhatWhy, sourcing and editing most of the images. WhoWhatWhy is a non-profit investigative journalism organization. In addition to doing a weekly cartoon and sourcing most of the images on WhoWhatWhy, I also create custom photo illustrations, remixed from copyright appropriate sources, if the right photo or illustration cannot be found.
When you look at all the images on WhoWhatWhy, realize that WhoWhatWhy only purchases ten images per month from a photo service, while I source the approximate 140 other images used from the Creative Commons and the public domain.

Custom work and adaptations
People have used DonkeyHotey caricatures for books, magazines and websites including How the Hell Did This Happen?: The Election of 2016 by P. J. O'Rourke, Your Country Is Just Not That Into You by Jimmy Dore (eight caricatures inside), Esquire.com, Eclectablog, Kiko's House, Utne Reader, and Ayn Rand Hates Tuscaloosa, And You Too Joplin! I did some work with a 3D real-time animation shop, CHOPS. My goal is not to do a lot of commission work unless it is in my wheelhouse. I enjoy doing political caricatures and political cartoons. I am not really interested in doing caricatures of random individuals. It is fun working as part of an editorial team commenting on the issues of the day and the people in the news.
