I was partially inspired by Phobs' style, but as far as the colouring is concerned that's something I was just bullshitting, and somehow it became my sort of "default" way of working - a nearly 50/50 combination of digital and traditional media.

He looks way to healthy here, but then again I was thinking more about the mental image average Americans during his administration might have of him, listening to his fireside chats.
