Consequential moments in American politics have long been depicted in the art world.<\/p>\n

President Abraham Lincoln\u2019s 1865 assassination is the subject of numerous works exhibited from institutions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art to Ford\u2019s Theater, where the infamous shooting took place. Ditto for President John F. Kennedy\u2019s 1963 assassination, which has been explored widely across contemporary art. Andy Warhol\u2019s \u201cJackie\u201d series famously depicted the former First Lady both at the peak of Kennedy\u2019s powers and in the tragic aftermath of her husband\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday\u2019s (Jul. 13) assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., it should come as no surprise that several digital artists were quick to put their own stamp on the event. Given the striking nature of the photographs from the shooting, showing a bloodied but defiant Trump hoisting a fist against an American flag backdrop, additional pieces will likely emerge in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

Here is a roundup of some of the notable digital artists who have posted their own depictions of the assassination attempt so far.<\/p>\n

Beeple has been creating daily artworks in his Everydays series<\/a> for more than 14 years, famously selling a composite of his first 5,000 pieces for more than $69 million at Christie\u2019s in 2021. As soon as the news of the shooting broke out, a number of web3 figures began speculating<\/a> on how the top-selling NFT artist of all time would immortalize the incident. The artist that we\u2019ve described as \u201ca political cartoonist for Internet culture\u201d<\/a> delivered an austere interpretation of AP photographer Evan Vucci\u2019s enduring image from the day\u2019s events.<\/p>\n

Yungjake (born Jake Patterson) is a Los Angeles-based artist who has garnered considerable attention with his emoji portraits of celebrities like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian, earning features in The New York Times<\/a> and W Magazine<\/a>. In an early Sunday morning post, Patterson opted to reimagine Vucci\u2019s photo through his pointillist, pop culture lens by isolating Trump and the female Secret Service agent on his right against a stark white backdrop.<\/p>\n

Mixed-media digital artist Tim Grib delivered a dystopian take on the scene that recalls Ralph Steadman\u2019s gonzo drawings<\/a> in Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s \u201cFear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail \u201972.\u201d Complete with a monstrous Trump, distorted Secret Service agents, and a jab at Biden\u2019s mental state, this is one of the darker portrayals of the incident to emerge to date.<\/p>\n

Recognized as a Next Up artist<\/a> in January, Bold Leonidas regularly captures the topic du jour on crypto Twitter with light-hearted hand-drawn cartoons. Posted just hours after the news broke, Leonidas channeled \u201cThe Matrix\u201d movies in showing Trump dodging a streaking bullet in full Neo fashion. Leonidas couldn\u2019t resist posting a second piece on Sunday morning featuring Lincoln and lampooning the early media reports that attributed the incident to a \u201cfall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recognized on our Black History Month list<\/a> of artists bringing unique art to web3, Nigerian artist Ifure Usen frequently demonstrates his prowess with the pencil through his prolific drawings. On Sunday afternoon, Usen unveiled his latest piece inspired by another Evan Vucci photograph from the scene, showing a blood-streaked Trump with a clenched fist beneath the American flag\u2019s red stripes. He also shared a time-lapse video<\/a> of the piece\u2019s creation in an earlier post.<\/p>\n
