| Caricature of Abraham Lincoln Stovepipe Hat at RedBubble |
February is already here. Those of us that are Abraham Lincoln fans know what that means. That's right, it's his birthday! Abe was born on the 12th of the month during the year of 1809. Abraham Lincoln is a historically important person- especially in regard to the shaping of our country. Abraham Lincoln is widely regarded as one of country's Greatest Presidents that have ever lived. When surveyed about who was the Greatest President, scholars rank Abe in the top three along with George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

To this day, Abraham Lincoln also remains as one of the most recognizable of our U.S. Presidents. Many of us refer to him by his nickname- "Honest Abe. Abraham Lincoln did so much during his lifetime. It is a shame that Abe was assassinated shortly after having been elected to his second term. Abraham Lincoln had so much more that he wanted to do for his Great Country. America would go into mourning.

When many of us think of Abe, we often recall being a student in history class and learning of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, The Civil War, The Emancipation Proclamation and of course The Gettysburg Address. This is only a very short list- Check out Wikipedia for a beautifully laid out synopsis of Abraham Lincoln's Life. There are also countless books about our 16th President of the United States of America with some covering his life, accomplishments, vision, conspiracy and controversy. I'll have some links to some great Amazon books to your right.

Abraham Lincoln is not only a fascinating figure, but he is also very unique in his appearance. I thought it would be fun to do some sepia tone sketches of Abe. I ended up creating a caricature portrait of Abraham Lincoln. An Abe caricature with and one without his iconic stovepipe hat. I also have the American Flag of his day serving as the backdrop. I have have posted several Abe designs in my Mudge Studios Shops at CafePress, Zazzle, Skreened and RedBubble. You'll find a variety of Abraham Lincoln t-shirts, posters, stickers and other gift items for Abe Fans of all ages. One popular design is What Would Abe Lincoln Do? by Mudge Studios. Actually, that is a really good question. What Would Lincoln do? If Lincoln were around today, I'd bet that Abe would lead our country out of this quagmire and back to the Greatness. that this once proud country is accustomed to. I hope that you are an Abe Fan too.
