Jeff Gray sends in some great news from Halifax, Nova Scotia: ” The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia has unveiled a new addition to the permanent collection. The piece, The Obama Family, by renowned Nova Scotia Folk Artist Bradford Naugler was acquired with funds generously donated by the Art Sales and Rental Society.”
Here is some graffiti that reminded us of this blogs humble beginnings when we primarily featured street art. I wonder if this was painted on a one-way street? This was spotted in photostream.
Sandra Neva Schulze sent in this great painting that: “is 60×80 inches tall and it is telling the story of the election last year. You will find his acceptance speech in the background. Words ( taken from the New York Times) of what people in the US and across the world felt when they learned that Obama had won the election… ”
Everyone thank Ashleigh Nicolson for sending this in: “I’m not exactly sure what this means but still find it a stunning image. Jeremiah Palecek’s work is always surreal, strange, and definitely eccentric. My favorite image of Obama to date! Please note I didn’t paint this!”
According to commenter Thelma, the poster featured yesterday may not have been the original. It seems that it was a modified version of this image that is being pasted up all over LA with the word Socialism instead of Fascism. Jump inside for more:
Spotted by several readers in photostream: “Driving through JC and happened to see these. Caught my eye…everyone is entitled to an opinion.” I wonder who would win in a fight – Obama Joker, or Obama Batman?
“Santa Barbara-based artist and philanthropist Morris Bear Squire created a giant sculptural piece of Obama with his Blackberry, which is now on view at 111 State Street in Santa Barbara, CA”… OK, Morris – I see Obama, but where is this blackberry that you speak of? Update: Amy Dozier sent in some photos with the phone. Thanks!
