Card-i-cature a week... Saddam Hussein (the 10 of Spades) 

And now I launch my new project for this year... I intend to draw a caricature of a personality in the news every week for the next 52 weeks. The twist being, they're going to be in the style of playing cards, the plan being that there'll be a full deck at the end of the year (OK, minus the jokers, but I might fit them in along the way).

So, to get the ball rolling, here's the first - the late Saddam Hussain, as the 10 of Spades:


Oh, and in case you're wondering, the plan is to theme the suits, so Hearts will be British Politics, Spades World Affairs, Diamonds Entertainment and Clubs everything else...

Edit: Blogger is playing up a bit, and for some inexplicable reason won't upload my image. I'll try again tomorrow... watch this space!

Edit:
All fixed now...

Excellent idea Alex! And a well executed first installment...so to speak. Like the idea of theming the suits too.
Please put me down for a couple of finished decks!
