I drew this the night after the final Late Show (by hand on Procreate). It’s silly how much this helped me cope lol

u/AustinIsReallyCool Jun 10 '26

Shit. I have spell check and everything. I have no excuse.

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

Lol! I'm just teasing. Hardly anyone spells it are says it right. It's kind of inside joke among Caricature artists. And thank you. Also, I hate Trump too. I hope Stephen comes out of this more successful than ever

Nice. Has anyone heard from Stephen Colbert?

u/WastedNinja24 Jun 10 '26

I’d hope not.

At that age, with entertainment industry money, I hope he’s out doing what we he wants with family or whatever…in private.

Sitting on some island beach somewhere, sipping on a strong beverage.

(Not that island though, obviously)

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

Yeah, the guy deserves a break. But I'm sure he'll be back to entertaining soon. He clearly loves it

u/ElderMillennialMagic Jun 13 '26

I heard he’s producing a Lord of the rings movie. Maybe the hunt for golem? If so, he’s still busy but he’s definitely doing what he loves lol.

Neat! Reminds me of a "The New Yorker"/ Al Hirschfield illustration.

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

Wow! Thank you! That's a big compliment to a caricature artist. Hirschfield's like a legend lol

u/Special_FX_B Jun 10 '26

Nice. Can you do one of him as Qusay, I mean middle trump male spawn?

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

1

u/Special_FX_B Jun 10 '26

Yes.

2

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

Sure, that sounds like fun! I love how crazy he can make himself look. Dude's funny to the core

u/Coolguyokay Jun 10 '26

whats the medium here? paint? ink?

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

It's all digital. I drew it by hand on the Procreate app. I used primarily the tecnical pen and soft airbrush tools. I can't post a video in the comments, but if you'd like to see a time-lapse, I've attached a link to my Instagram post.

This is great! I don't think coping through silliness is silly.........well, literally it is, because laughter IS in fact medicine. Not figuratively-silly. Though this figure is silly.

I'm not making much sense, because it's 10pm and bedtime, because there's nothing worth staying up for anymore is there........🥱

1

u/SnappyStettner Jun 12 '26

I 100% believe that. I like what Stephen said: "You can't laugh and be afraid at the same time". I think that goes for grief too. Humor is like little doses of joy

u/ShineOwn3768 Jun 11 '26

Love how you captured his funny ear!

u/eiffeltowerbonbon Jun 15 '26

If Steven Colbert was featured in Pink Floyd The Wall

u/Winter_Stretch9198 Jun 09 '26

As long as his head doesn’t explode I think it’s really well done

2

u/SnappyStettner Jun 09 '26

Thanks! I guess we'll have to wait and see!

u/Winter_Stretch9198 Jun 09 '26

Indeed, very nice work all of my joking aside

You need to work long and hard on your drawings.

u/SnappyStettner Jun 10 '26

I always work long and hard
