McConnell’s zoomorphic transformation is a pleasant change of pace.

Pego describes “McColombia” as a cat who “spends his free time running a cocaine based drug cartel out of a printer paper box lid,” referencing a 2014 Nation report that tied the Kentucky senator to a cargo ship owned by the McConnell family, which according to a Colombian Coast Guard official housed 90 pounds of cocaine.

McConnell’s office never responded to a request for comment from The Nation.

“His face is iconic, it was effortless, he was already there waiting for me to do it,” Pego told msnbc on his reason for painting McConnell. “The fun was working on it not looking like a turtle,” he said, noting that The Daily Show Jon Stewart and others have already made that comparison.

Pego, 36, took to digital art this winter after working in traditional mediums throughout his life. He paints using a Stylus pen – typically used on bigger surfaces like tablets – on his tiny Samsung GALAXY S5 smartphone. As far as the subject matter goes, politics is in Pego’s blood: His step-father was the assistant to Mayor Ron Norick during the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
