I knew I wanted to do an illustration of Sarah Palin for the FEAR issue of MAMMAL, but I was having a hard time coming up with how I was going to do it. I did some really bad sketches of her driving a pickup-truck-bomb heading towards the white house, but that just seemed forced and trite. Stumped, until a friend wrote an unrelated tweet about this Bob Dylan song, the spark was lit, and I knew exactly how I wanted to paint her.
