I don't know what I was thinking when I was starting out. I was hoping I'd get paid to draw realistic pictures of hockey players. I still hold that hope alive. — Barry Blitt Copy Share Image
The back of Donald Trump's head is fantastic and his eyebrows are amazing. His overbite and his series of chins and the color of… — Barry Blitt Copy Share Image

Just look at the back of Donald Trump's head, any angle. There's some angles that his chin is just, what do I mean? I mean he's sculpted out of some kind of pudding, I think.

I'm, like, not overly into labels. I've been referred to that way, but I tend to think of political cartoonists as constantly at it,… — Barry Blitt Copy Share Image
All my drawings always sort of looked funny even if I was trying to do serious stuff and express myself about grim situations. It… — Barry Blitt Copy Share Image
