I would like DU's 2 cents about my protest poster

I'm working on a poster for the April 19th protest. Hopefully my drawing resembles that thing that's occupying the White House. I don't have a tracer art projector.


I would to say "IF SHIT HAD A FACE" written on my poster. I'm not 100% if that's what I want to go with because I don't know if young children will be attending this Saturday's protest.


Let me know what you would write on this poster. I haven't decided and it's obviously not finished just yet.


I'm on my way out the door to go to work but I'm picking up several colors of craft paint after work.

That would make it instantly recognizable. I would also add some jazz hands, only TINY.

The first thought that popped in my head was "shit for brains". I think your shit part is right on point

Come up with something along those lines that is snappier. I think pushing the he doesn’t care about regular folks will carry more weight as it speaks to his actions vs his innate ignorance/stupidity/narcissistic personality.

Outstanding drawing! And the colors will really make it pop!

I think your saying is good! As another poster suggested, "poop" vs. "shit" would be good considering the potential for young children in attendance!

Very, very well done!

I always worry about what children see. I didn't realize that people were taking them to protest and exposing them to working middle finger signs.

I'm not a prude but I worry about what children see.

I see the picture going the same way as in the drawing, but it doesn't matter since caricatures are meant to capture a likeness, and not be exact anyway.

And the drawing really captures the likeness.
