David Granlund - artist inspiraiton

When i was on google images and was searching for Donald Trump caricature examples i was very surprised at the large amount that there was. It just goes to show that the great thing about a caricature when its of someone famous is it shows how they are relevant enough to get a caricature. Now obviously i knew Donald Trump was relevant because of the presidential campaign but i guess i wasnt prepared for the scrutiny he's got from being in so many caricatures that ultimately do what i aim to do and thats to make him look stupid. 

Anyway i came across a guy called David Granlund who is a political cartoonist and i have found many examples of his work with 'The Donald'.  The artist has it seems quite a distinctive style which is in my opinion a very classic american way of caricaturing as opposed to a British Gerald Scarfe way for example. I have noticed that in all the trump caricatures which this artist has done the face is
usually the same and is kept as a constant in his works which then helps the recognisability factor i suppose.
