, an artist from Cologne, Germany sent in two mixed-media paintings. One before the election and another after Obama became president. This one is the ‘before’. Jump inside for the full image – return tomorrow for the ‘after’:
“What’s the weather, what to wear? Obama helps you everywhere,” proclaims obama-weather.com, a site dedicated to showing you the local weather using paper-doll-like representations of Barack. He’d be in a depressing raincoat if anywhere near me – so let’s use the weather from Hawaii instead:
We have featured the great work of Michael D’Antuono before. Now, he sends in second piece to help those who were misinterpreting the previous work: “Not wanting my original message to get lost, I created the second piece titled “…what I meant was…” for those who couldn’t see past the religious symbolism in The Truth”. Jump inside for more!
Lisa Kereszi passed this along: “This is a card made by Mike, one of the great artists at the LAND Studio and Gallery, an amazing offshoot of the League Treatment Ctr in Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY. Teachers work 5 days a week with developmentally-disabled adults to make artwork that is (affordably!) for sale to sustainably support the art program.”
Spotted in photostream and simply noted as: “White House, Carlito Brigante visits Washington DC”. What a great mix of location, stencil and media. However, the placement of the whole does remind me of this strange comic.
Normally, we only post art that explicitly represents the likeness of Barack Obama. So, this one from Dickson Brown was almost deleted outright. That would have been a shame… Jump inside to learn why this image is so powerful.
