hhahahahha, awesomest explanation ever :D
Strong work as usual Nate, the elekey (is that the bottom one? haha) rocks my socks
totally inspiring and filled with an iconography and symbolism only politicians would get ;)
I definitely love this one,
Thanks for posting it, keep em coming!!

Hey Paul thanks for commenting..

in the US the color that represents the Republic Party is Red also represented by an Elephant
and the Democratic color is blue ..also represented by a Donkey
When a state 50/50 republican and democratic they call it a purple state (red and blue make purple) .. I thought it would be funny instead of refering to it as a mix of colors .. they should mix the animals and call it a donkeyphant or an elekey .. that started out as my inspiration .. but end up like this

cool illustration - but why is it red and not purple?

God, I love this! Really gorgeous. The color alone is such a great choice.
