Obama Art
Meryl:
Great find, John. What a pretty display box of Obamabilia! Someone made that so lovingly. It reminds me of some displays inspired by the Royals. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in a museum someday. 8)

Ha! You might be surprised to know that each of the two framed 'shadow boxes' are about 12 to 15 inches square--quite small!

Bad Paintings of Barack Obama
badpaintingsofbarackobama.com
The president portrayed as though he were in a Boyz II Men video
While his boyband are on a US tour,
Barry poses in his white suit outside the White House
Barack Obama puts his mansion where his mouth is
This has to be our favourite. A Mexican tribute to the President of the US,
with a taco on his head and, um, a pair of undies in his hand
The third eye traditionally symbolises enlightenment. Here, it just scares us
The artist responsible for this one created a very good likeness of the president...
and then decided to 'improve' on it by making him glow and painting the Earth on his forehead.
And we don't know what those veins are about
This isn't Barack Obama - it's Bill Cosby, surely?
Someone sat on the Shepard Fairey portrait
(Here I have to break down and say: "Bwaaaahahahahaha!!"
And all I can also say is: There are more! Lots more! Go!)

Your fave is DEFINITELY an early Seventies (Record) Album. ("Children: a 'Record Album' was flat, about 12 inches square, brightly colored cardboard, and there was a kind of 'iPod' inside, but it had only maybe 12 to 20 songs total, called 'tracks'....")
The first of the series is WAAAAY psychological--I mean, the white HORSE, and a BRIDGE, and god knows WHAT is going on there.... :o
Also--doesn't this one look like Dwayne 'The Rock' Obama? I'm just sayin'....
(Ya gotta ask--if McCain had won the election--ya think people would've been creating all this bad McCain Art? I sorta doubt it, some how....)
