Live Drawing History: Hillary Clinton and the DNC in Philly

29I was thrilled to be at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week, live tweet drawing for CBS News and The New Yorker.  Below are a selection of some of my drawings, but you can see more on newyorker.com here. I wrote about the experience,  and posted some drawings on Medium, here. And CBS did a video of me and slide show here. Every morning, I drew the hosts and guests of CBS This Morning.  The greatest thrill was to be on the floor during the roll call, and also when Hillary gave her speech. It was emotional, and lots of fun.

 

Live Tweet Drawing At The DNC!

unnamed-4It’s with great enthusiasm that I can announce I will be going to the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia to live tweet draw what I see for The New Yorker and CBS This Morning.  The CBS morning show will have me on set each morning to draw the guests and hosts, then I will wander the halls and street (if the heat doesn’t get me) to draw stuff and tweet it out. So follow me on twitter @lizadonnelly for live updates. Also follow @NewYorker and @CBSThisMorning accounts, too!

 

Beware Punditry

Okay, I admit, from time to time, I like a good pundit.  But lately, in my estimation, some pundits have been pushing it.  They are throwing their ideas around like they have any weight, and causing polls to swing wildly. They are calling winners of debates with wild abandon. They are confusing people, causing undecideds to be decided. They are scaring children with their opinions. Parents need to be sure their children are out of the room when pundits are on the television.  Or at the very least, discover the mute button and use it.  Pundits are harmless when mute.
