KEVIN SPROULS ILLUSTRATES POWER & POLITICS

July 25, 2019

Kevin Sprouls has illustrated generations of political powerhouses, both good and evil, for the Wall Street Journal among other clients. Here's Saddam Hussein, most likely before he fell out of favor, judging by his benign expression:


A truculant P.W. Botha making the defense for Arpartheid in South Africa:


Brutal dictator, Idi Amin, who was slaughtering multitudes of his opponents in Uganda:


The trick with Mikhael Gorbachov is to have his forehead birthmark show ‘just right’. Too light, no good. Too dark, even worse!


Here’s Dan Quayle, the hapless Vice President who had a lot of trouble with the word ‘potato’:


A pensive President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, during the dark days of World War II:


And finally, Benjamin Franklin playing it cool. Not done for the WSJ, but, hey, it's summer!
