Excellent drawing Lewis.

Your drawing and words are spot on Lew! Sick of MP sleaze!

Great painting, Lewis, love the colours.

Super Lewis!

Excellent artwork Lew. I do agree with you about MPs for some it means Money Please, My Privileges, oh no I’m so cynical but history tends to agree.

and another one to catch the eye and make you think. It does sound as though we have the same impressions concerning the worth of politicians. Guy Fawkes had the best idea yet - just a pity he didn't achieve his desires. Mind you we could have finished up with the American idea of politics - and that is even worse !!

It all makes me despair ( the corruption) , but will anything change? Anyway…poor old Harry, he could also do with a bit of “Chapstick”.

Great characterization Lewis and yes they certainly are the masters of double standards !!

Fabulous drawing and colours. Very detailed and done well as always. Although makes me feel a bit yucky looking at old Harry. I really like the background too Lewis 😊

Fantastic drawing Lewis!!

So very good indeed Lewis, my those eyes!

Brilliant work once more Lewis.

Ha ha Lewis. Such wise words and a wonderfully painted character. He looks how I feel this morning.

Is this Boris in a few years time!? I don’t like those yellow eyes, maybe he should see a GP, or no I don’t suppose he can get an appointment. I certainly agree with your comments on some MPs. I think amongst 600+ there must be a few decent ones but we don’t hear much about them do we? A sleazily good portrait Lew.

Superb humour and great Character drawing Lewis where you draw your inspiration from is remarkable.

Posted by Chris Scott on Sat 13 Nov 11:42:21

Love this, Lewis - and made me chuckle!

Posted by Anne Fletcher on Sat 13 Nov 12:43:00

Thanks to everyone for your great comments. Obviously there will be many MPs in it for their constituents, they must cringe like the rest of us when this news comes out.

Can’t say he looks happy with his lot Lewis, very topical.

Superb Lewis!

Always have the right words and the artistic talent, Lewis

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Sat 13 Nov 15:43:26

An excellent painting, Lewis, the detail and the expression are truly superb. As usual, your draughtsmanship is superlative.

Posted by Seok Yam Chew on Sun 14 Nov 09:58:54

Your characters are incredible Lewis!

So funny!

Just seen this, I can actually hear him in my head saying this…

A drawing of an old man. Doesn't need a caption, but I can't resist it. This was prompted by all the news about part-time, pseudo MPs, busy making themselves rich...presumably that's why they became MPs. This reminded me of this old quote...the other side of the coin. What did the MPs tell us? Oh yes...'we're all in this together.'

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
