the Vultures!



This is an illustration I did last week for Dutch newspaper 'de Pers' to accompany an article about the bankers, claiming they need bonuses on top of the tax bail-outs after ruining the global economy. The image seems to say enough so I kept it simple. If you want to see more of the process (sketches etc.) visit the BOLTblog.
Cheers!

Cool image and a very rough topic to talk about too.

You hit that right on the nail. An absolutly superb illustration for the topic - Maybe the bird needs a bit of blood around the beak

I can't think of any other way to pertrait bankers other than vultures in suits, I wish I came up with the idea

I did condider the bloody beak, but that would be a little bit to far I think. It would suggest actual bodily harm, and it had to be about the methaphorical cold-hearted greedy vulture... but it would suit the drawing.
