Obama Art Report



Do you ever cut out articles from the newspaper (or just keep a whole section) because some article caught your eye and you think it will come in handy down the road? Well... I do it all the time, and I end up with random piles of yellowing newspaper strewn all over my home office.

I decided from now on, I'm just going to blog about this stuff. You get to see what sort of weird, twisted stuff gives me a boner, and I have an easy reference for it down the road. Besides Evernote - which I'll write about later!

The San Francisco Chronicle had an interesting article on the amazing volume of Obama inspired art that has been coming out over the last year or so: Message of Hope Inspires Campaign of Creativity (published on 08.02.08 in the Datebook section). A great online reference, which also resided here on Blogger, is the Obama Art Report. Check it out... there is some really cool work up here.

Also check my homey Zoey's recent play off of Shephard Fairey's Obama "Progress" piece called "Hopeless". Break him off some, Z.
