Congratulations are in order for Nate, the 11 Year Old genius behind anti.trump.cartoons and also for you all, dear DKos readers.
Thanks to your enthusiastic response and FaceBook posting of my diary about his work last Saturday, the number of followers of his site has grown from just over 300 to more than 12,700 and still counting!
And now Nate has hit the bigly time, with a featured article at Salon Magazine's online page.
“The age of President Donald Trump has certainly brought a lot of things along with it, many of them bad, but there are always silver linings, and that may be the best way to describe the Instagram page of an 11-year-old who draws anti-Trump cartoons.
The Instagram profile, @ant.trump.cartoons, is run by an 11-year-old who calls himself a "resister" who draws "caricatures of your favorite and least favorite political figures.
Aside from the hilarity of the drawings, the kid is clearly quite talented as an artist who pays attention to detail. The drawings show that even an 11-year-old can keep up with the details of mundane daily politics in Washington. Thanks to Trump, that task has been made much easier.”
Glad to have you in the fold, Salon, but DKos and it’s readers got the scoop on this one.
I am currently trying to work it out that I can feature Nate’s new cartoons in posts here, but I haven’t been able to copy them properly from his Instagram page.
In the mean time you can see it (and Nate’s representation of himself) here.
Keep on pumping them out, Nate - we expect we’ll see you syndicated soon!
