Seasons Greetings

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Just in time for x-mas! Robt Seda-Schreiber, who has previously  in some amazing work, contacted us again with this great sketch: “Now that we’ve all gotten exactly what we wanted (& deserved) for the holidays- hope & change, baby!- I’ve drawn a holiday card to commemorate just that. I encourage anyone & everyone to print & send to all on their “seasonal greetings” lists (I suggest printing on a red cardstock- looks snazzy!). Hope you all enjoy & thanks for posting all the good stuff lo these many months… Ho-ho-ho & all that.”

Mixed Messages

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 | 1 Comment »

This one came in from a reader “sd335908″ with unfortunatly no information attached. It appears to be charcoal on canvas and centers Obama between a montage of mixed images – everything from an emerging butterfly to the a-bomb and Hitler. It makes me feel a bit overwhelmed. Not quite sure what the message is supposed to be.

FreshPressed is a screen printing shop that “allows users of all ages and all skill levels to make truly unique, one-of-a-kind screenprinted wearables”. Looks like they now have an entire section devoted to Obama art prints and clothing. This one by Nick Toga is called “East Side L.A. Obama Print”.

Arabic Controversy Over Simple Cartoon

Thursday, December 18th, 2008 | No Comments »

Several readers have pointed us to to an article on BoingBoing about an interesting little cartoon: “It seems like an appropriate enough cartoon. The depiction of the president elect Barack Obama with the US flag behind him and the bubble quoting Obama as saying the change has come to Washington.” However it has sparked some controversy.
