Spotted in singthiscorrosion’s photostream. These posters remind us of a previous post, but are done in a completely different style. There was no shortage of photos on Flickr, yet no one seemed to know who the artist is.
Another one by Derek Chatwood. This one utilizes a larger pallet and some very strong text placement. By itself, it is a great piece of art – yet, it becomes even better when you realize that it is only half of the whole image.
The folks over at Happy Zombie created a way cute “blog button” for you to stick on your website. The only downside, is that at first I thought this was a real button (the kind you pin to a coat)… You see, Happy Zombie is a quilting and craft blog. Won’t somebody make me a real one???
Just received this message from an artist named Lichiban that we are happy to post: “I’m a Brooklyn-based visual artist from Hungary, and have been very much involved in supporting the Obama movement over here in BK through means that I could. I’m not a citizen so I can’t vote but I’ve been doing various fundraisers and Obama artwork to further the cause.”
Over the past few months we have been encouraging you to send in your art. The other day we received the following: “Greetings Obama Team, Can you help me get this painting to the Obama campaign? I am an artist trying to donate my talent to the campaign to help raise money. I really would like to become part of the ARTIST FOR OBAMA team. I created this painting for that purpose. Thanks, Andre Harris”
