I seem to forget too quickly the oozing, sticky, nasty nature of political writing. I dip my toe in and before I can say Long John Kerry I'm up to my eyeballs in partisan goo.
And we all know how unappealing that is, so I'll be moving along.
The image that your monitor is firing into your brain is of a drawing called Astonished Head, created by Manuel Alcorlo in 2003. Mr. Alcorlo was born in Madrid in 1935, and is, apparently, a fairly well-known contemporary artist in Spain.
I have no idea whether the artist has ever visited this site. I rather doubt it. According to my site stats, there haven't been enough visitors from Spain to make the Top 30 Countries chart.
Limited edition, signed artist proofs of Astonished Head are available from PicassoMio for $379.
I'm not affiliated with PicassoMio in any way.
I'm just saying: look! Some Spanish artist guy has drawn Astonished Head!
