Heather Rose recently sent this in: “Hello! a friend of mine just sent me the link to this site. I wish i’d known about it sooner but I am happy to hear that you are going to keep it up and running! i have attached my illustration of Barack Obama for you to use on your site as you wish.”
Another great poster from Go Tell Mama. This one was created by Ray Noland and is currently in stock: “The first African-American President of the United States of America. Screen-printed at Hummingbird Press on Brown 80lb. cover, 18in. x 24in., 3 colors, signed, edition of 250″
This handmade, painted sign for a bake sale has been sitting in our archives for a while. We were hoping to find more information about it before posting, but it is just too cute to wait any longer.
John Hart of nanobliss decided to take our president-elect’s face to a whole new frontier: “Each face is made of approximately 150 million tiny carbon nanotubes; that’s about how many Americans voted in the 2008 presidential election. Vote for science!” More photos of the microscopic structures inside.
Cobby from South Africa sent this in just after election day: “…while this is somewhat of a spoof, it’s only in good humor. I am a South African and have been following the presidential race since before the primaries began and have been an avid supporter of Barack Obama from the beginning.” More about his (Kentucky Fried) inspiration inside.
The Boston Globe has a great collection of photos from the campaign. Featured below is #25 out of 35: “On the eve of the US presidential election, Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama speaks during his last campaign rally for the 2008 presidential race in Manassas, Virginia, November 03, 2008. (EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty Images)” Links to some other favorites inside.
It is a really good thing that we decided to keep this thing running. The quality and diversity of the work just keeps increasing. For instance, on Nov 4th, Eugene Wu decided to send this in: “I visit your site a lot and I drew a small poster for the election last night. I hope you guys like it.” Come inside to see all the detail!
