Caricature of the Week - Bush by Leal

I'm starting this new caricature of the week section, where I choose my favourite caricature / caricaturist every week.

The first one is George W. Bush by Jota Leal. I discovered Leal's website this year and was amazed by the level of realism he achieves in his subjects. There are other fantastic caricatures on his site, possibly better than this one, but I chose George Bush to coincide with the 5th anniversary of 9/11 and the screening of the new Death of a President movie, which depicts a mock assassination of the President. I'm not much of a fan of political cartoons, but the level of skill evident in this portrait is simply amazing!
