About DonkeyHotey
Political cartoons, caricatures and illustrations created with Photoshop by DonkeyHotey.
DonkeyHotey art is most commonly found at the DonkeyHotey Flickr photostream.
The art of DonkeyHotey is a combination of caricature, photo collage and photo manipulation. The resulting work can be categorized as caricature, cartoon, illustration and art depending on the intent.
I am looking for a home base
It would be great to be paid by a digital venue to provide art. So far, I have been posting hi-res images under Creative Commons license at Flickr as I have been improving my skills. This has enabled publishers to find and publish my work. I view this as a way to build demand for my work and to see what editors are looking for in artwork. I feel that I am ready to begin working full time for a publisher or to get involved at a digital startup or other project where my work would fill a need. If you are interested in working together please post a comment to this page.
About the posts on this blog
Most of the items in this blog are examples of writers and publishers using DonkeyHotey caricatures, cartoons and illustrations. The idea is to show visitors to this blog how DonkeyHotey images are being used by editors and writers across the Web. The examples have been discovered by various means. This effort is not an attempt to capture all uses of DonkeyHotey art. Links to these examples and the actual use of DonkeyHotey art in the content by the writers and publishers should not imply an endorsement of the content. In fact, I have not read most of these articles I link to completely. If I have linked to something you find objectionable I apologize, but accept no responsibility. I am just trying to show how people are using my work.

Thank you!
Thanks kudos and for sharing the link.
Here’s the latest: http://fairandunbalancedblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-2013-budget-says-about-fight-for.html
Is this the best way to alert you that I’ve used your work?
This is fine. I post links every few days.
Thanks.

Hi Lovechilde,
I think the reason I did not link to your post is that you were re-posting from another blog without adding commentary. My goal is to illustrate where writers and editors are choosing my art to illustrate their work. Does this make sense?
Makes perfect sense. Here’s another from today, although it is also a cross-post from another blog. http://fairandunbalancedblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/0000063-election.html
Great stuff.
Here’s one of my own. http://fairandunbalancedblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/you-really-want-to-have-culture-war.html
You are an inspiration, DonkeyHotey!
You do brilliant work. I used three of your illustrations today in my blog http://windupmyskirt.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/the-gop-from-one-canadians-perspective/
Thanks for letting me know.
Here’s the Tucson Sentinel placement: http://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/021712_republican_bar_joke/the-gops-worst-enemy-its-candidates/

Hello! I run the blog Eclectablog.com (with my blogging partner LOLGOP). We use your incomparable CC images from time to time for our blog posts and I’d like to make a contribution. I don’t make any real money with my blog but I’ll do what I can. What’s the best way to drop some folding money into your tip jar?
I’d also be interested in writing up a piece about you and your magnificent art if you’d consider doing an interview.
I can be reached at eclectablog over at teh gmail with dots and comes and stuff.
Hi Electablog,
Wow, what a complimentary post! I appreciate the kind offer to contribute to a tip jar, but I am not set up to deal with that at this time. Regarding an article. Right now I am still basking in my pseudonymity, so I am also going to pass on the article.
Thanks,
DH

I would like to find out about hiring you to create and image (maybe more) for a new project. I love your work. Meagermind is by far my favorite and the reason I contacted you. Keep it up!
Hi Mark,
You could make contact through Flickr Mail here and then we can exchange contact info. http://www.flickr.com/photos/donkeyhotey
