Painfully Funny, Scathingly on Target
“What happens when you combine classic, iconic images with a master illustrator’s sensibility? You get page after page of OMG, gut punch irony revealing the corruption and decay surrounding the biggest buffoon to ever walk the world stage. Actual tweets and quotes, as well as the artist’s razor sharp political commentary, puncture the myth of greatness promoted during the dark, SAD! days of Trump.”

Art 101 of the Deal is Quite a Hoot!
”It takes some kind of genius to marry paintings by artists from Michelangelo to Magritte to our 45th President (and cohorts) in the seamless fashion that Cathy Hull has done...and created her own ‘masterpiece!’ It’s a romp from beginning to end, sprinkled with witty commentary, as well as some very pertinent tweets. I’m sure you'll enjoy the ride.”
★★★★★ This genius book makes you laugh til it hurts. Ms. Hull is the genius artist I hired during my 30 years as a New York Times art director. She was the ideal illustrator for Op-Ed, whose images must be spot-on. But my experience of her rare talent didn’t prepare me for this book’s breakthrough brilliance. Obsessed as I am with artistry and wit, I’m struck by Hull’s flawless, masterpiece-inspired works of art. But this book can also be used for abdominal exercise, since you’ll laugh so hard — as I have while reading it — that you can skip sit-ups! I truly don't have enough superlatives to describe the impeccable "Art 101 of the Deal," which I had shipped to me in Mexico. When i saw its brilliance, i bought many more for friends. We’re now well into Biden’s presidency, yet they still thank me for the fun they’ve had with "Art 101 of the Deal." We’ll never have a more preposterous president than Donald, and you’ll never find a more delicious duo than Trump and Hull.
