Abbott Vs Russia (and Richard Nixon)

Busy couple of days, with two illustrations for this week's Spectator. Originally I was commissioned to draw a beaten, but fighting Nixon cover for Tom Switzer's review of The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose from Defeat to Create the New Majority (by Patrick J. Buchanan).  But the row over the MH17 bodies has been the major news this week, so we've run with a different cover: Abbott standing tough with Russia.

Below is Nixon, "rising from defeat", used as a spot illustration.
