This one comes from the Obama Gear Blog (no relation). Unfortunatly, They don’t know a lot about the creator either: “I do not own these shoes and I don’t know who made them. As creative and high quality as they are, I would assume a custom shoe shop or something, maybe done by special request.”
A reader (thanks Gordie!) sent these shots in – they were mailed to him, so if you know the origin, please let us know. By the style, I would suspect that they were done by the same barber, but who knows. I only wish my hair looked this good.
Spotted this incredible close-up in a35mmlife’s photostream. This was shot during the creation of a poster that you have probably already seen. The hand is that of famous graffiti artist “The Mac.” Do you know recognize the poster yet? Step inside for a finished shot and a quote from the artist.
Several different readers have sent this one in over the past few weeks. This incredibly hot portrait was featured on the cover of the voters edition of the Willamette Week, a local alternative paper in Portland, OR. The original art is by Lukas Ketner and features a sweaty Barack wading through the water, being chased by a unicorn, with roses flying from his pelvis.
Ran across this caricature in Nick Leonard’s photostream. It’s not pretty. It’s not supportive. And it could easily be considered racist. So why are we featuring it here? Well it is a great example about how this campaign has affected the art community. Love him, or hate him – Obama has inspired people to create.
A lot of Obama art out there is making it’s way on to t-shirts and other clothing. The one featured here is nothing special – what caught my eye was company’s advertising. Jump inside for a more risqué photo, as well as some background information concerning that logo on her shirt. It ruffled some feathers all by itself.
