The items in this display are part of the process editorial cartoonist Matt Wuerker uses to produce his art for POLITICO.
Within the span of approximately four hours, his work begins in the 19th Century and ends in the 21st Century. He sketches out his concepts first in pencil and adds penned ink to the best draft. Next, he fills the scene with watercolors. Finally, he scans his cartoons digitally, color corrects it on a computer, and sends it to the publication's production staff for inclusion on the editorial page.
Wuerker is the 2012 recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. Over the past 25 years, his work has appeared in publications ranging from The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times to Smithsonian and The Nation. |
