About the Book
Years ago I began cutting up many of my drawings and etchings and turned them into collages. In the process I generated a lot of scraps. Later I cut the scraps into strips, which I would weave together.
The results were unexpected combinations of colors, textures, and patterns. I called them paper tapestries. When facial features were added, they turned into portraits.
This book is a collection of some of those portraits and weaves.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin
Oak Park, IL
As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
