A pen and ink series by Olivia Ives Flores, playfully conveys current American politics with a snarky, tongue and cheek approach to the campaign season. Her renderings greatly exaggerate the gestures and quirks of political candidates. “Lines Don’t Lie’ is a refreshingly imaginative sequence with titles that do not disappoint. “Talk Rodeo,” “Super Pack,” […]
