442 - Democracy series - portrait of Jeremy Bentham
The democracy book I'm reading has a very American slant. However, it does cover the British Utilitarians, starting of course with Jeremy Bentham, whose body (its now a replica actually as his real body wasn't embalmed properly) in Senate House in the university of London. I should pay him a visit one day
432 - Democracy series - Abe steering through the troubled waters
Apologies for the terrible photo. Another one from my Democracy series of eBay envelopes
431 - Democracy series: Portrait of Robert Nozick
As well as reading Democracy for Beginners, I'm also doing a course on Political Philosophy, Justice by Michael Sandel
Robert nozick features quite prominently in the discussion of Libertarianism and so I decided to draw him
429 - Democracy series: Anthony Downs
I'm currently reading Democracy for Beginners, and drawing as I go. Anthony Downs wrote "An economic theory of democracy" in 1957
420 - Portrait of Ford Maddox Brown
Ford Madox Brown (16 April 1821 – 6 October 1893) was an English painter of moral and historical subjects. I only know about him because I happened to have to draw a picture for an eBay Sharpie envelope one afternoon and a book on art history was laying around in a friends office. I opened it looking for inspiration and landed on his portrait, which I quickly drew, using fineliner on the envelope.
