The first month of the year has come and gone. Although the month has felt so short, it’s given plenty of time for many things to happen. One of them being the “Late Night Wars” on NBC. This very event, inspired my latest creation.

First off, my thoughts on the whole ordeal. I fully support Conan O’Brien. I think he’s a very funny man and due to his hard work, deserves to host the Tonight Show.

However, as he himself said, you don’t always get what you want. Unfortunately, his words ring true to a lot of hard working people who have experienced life handing out lemons.

Even though Conan O’Brien has walked away from this situation almost $40 million dollars richer, money doesn’t change the feeling you get after being fired. The feelings of sadness, disappointment and the hurt to your ego are exactly the same.

I’ll sum this part up by saying this: The support given to Conan was not only because of his talent, but because the American public knows the feeling of losing a  job all too well.

About the Cover

I’m an avid reader of GQ magazine. I love the design of the magazine and its interesting content. Also, as I’ve already said, I’m a big fan of Conan O’Brien. This is why, when I was deciding what would be my next personal project, I decided to put Conan O’Brien on the cover of GQ.

So without any further delay, here is the latest addition to my portfolio. I look forward to hearing your comments on the piece.
