Although there are some who do not believe it, there are Obama critics on the Left. Cartoonist Ted Rall was born in Cambridge, Massachussetts.

Thank you, Meryl!




by Michael Murphy

(....)

However, I can confidently say, without a doubt, that the best part of our 10 day trip was meeting Michael Murphy in person, helping him out for a week, and making a friend for life. For the new readers out there, Michael Murphy is one of the most talented, promising and the least famous artist you haven't heard of.

We first met Michael here at the Art Report back in September when a reader (I think it was Laz?) tipped us off to a sculpture he had found.  The sculpture (pictured below) comprises of 6,400 2" nails, pounded into a white board.  The resulting shadows cast one the most creatively executed Obama portraits I've ever seen, and believe me, after 700 posts, I've seen a lot.



For more information on Michael, to view his entire portfolio of Obama and Non-Obama works, or to inquire on purchasing a piece or commissions, please visit his website:

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....)
