Politicians, gurus of culture, corporate figures, anyone in the public eye that steps up with an agenda is fair game for Schmertzler to skewer with pen, ink, brush or conte crayon. Keeping in the tradition of Daumier or Goya and their portrayal of the "power elite", Schmertzler works on brown paper with 3 tone conte, working up toned surface with a push and pull of lights to darks, then rubbs it down with paper towel and his fingers to create editorial commentary. |

President Series To the right are two samples of presidents in the series. All of the presidents in the series are ones that served since Schmertzler's birth so the artworks have an autobiographical dimension. |
