Last April, ybonesy from red Ravine posted a blog entry about her process to create her first painting: “In fall of last year I had an opportunity. A gallery owner in New York City saw my doodles on Flickr and invited me to join a group show in spring 2009.” Below is a snapshot early in the process. Jump inside to see what she created.
Today marks the one year anniversary of Barak Obama’s inauguration.To celebrate Michael Cuffe of The Obama Experiment has released a special print titled: I Still Believe: “I believed in him a year ago, and today… I still believe.”
Here is an excellent acrylic example from Clayton Singleton: “…painted with layers of color covered with one “skin” color overlayed with an image of Obama with the Presidential oath written and scored throughout the image. I painted this after Barack Obama won the 44th Presidency. It was displayed in The Selden Gallery and published on January 20, 2009 in Portfolio Magazine.”
Michael Nguyen sent in this great portrait: “Barack in the light of America, just about to say “thank you”. The original flash animation is embedded here if you’d like to see it.”
Crap, I promised that was the last one by Jayson Musson … but they just keep getting better! Here is another wonderfully inappropriate one: “Come with me if you want to live!” Happy December ;)
Alright, one more by Jayson Musson: “Take that crude oil!, You’re no match for Obama’s green fist of power!”
