Obama Portrait GalleryAnd finally, while browsing the web this evening, I ran across Brad Warthen's blog at The State. Brad discovered some interesting pixellation embedded in the Obama- hope poster. Click on the photo to enlarge.

I don’t that this is a true enlargement of any real poster, but I see what is likely to be a Russian Imperial Eagle (could be a Byzantine eagle too), a cross, and something I can’t make out in the lower right.

There appears to be a circular seal with, inside it, what looks like one of the old two-headed eagle symbols. Kind of like a Habsburg/Hohenzollern/Romanov “which way do I go” kind of bird. Think the Poles used this in their inter-war flag as well. Not sure of significance.

Then just above that and to the right there is some kind of pattern - like a cross surrounded by other symbols.

The rest appears to be newsprint.

No idea what it means. Just what it looks like to me.

Brad Warthen said “In preparing it for publication in PhotoShop, I happened to change my view to “actual pixels,” and went, Whoa!”

Ah, this is an ‘Andre the Giant’ Obey poster inside a Russian star. The obey poster was done by the same artist as the Obama poster, and is used the OBEY clothing company that is supposed to connote counterculture or resistance to the status quo.

Haha, no, but in the lower right of the picture there looks like maybe a Janus head...which is interesting, since it is famously two-faced. I don't recognize that particular one however with the superscript. The Russian emblems, obey counterculture references, and the Janus reference, if that's what it is, all suggest that the man of hope's other face is communist.

When the Secret Service gave Obozo the call name of “Renegade,” they had no idea how apt that was. He is the resistance to all that is good or upright.

but the blame for this would have to lay at the graphic artist, wouldn’t it?

In the lower right of the picture there is some printing and the word “Kills” appears.

Los Angeles-based street artist Shepard Fairey is the man behind the design. Fairey first made a name for himself in the late '80s with black and white stickers featuring wrestling legend Andre the Giant. Fairey is known for putting his stickers and posters in unlikely and often illegal places. "That's always been my style," Fairey says. "I don't get permission. I just do it." He has the arrest record to prove it. And that's why, at first, he wasn't sure how the Obama campaign would feel about an artistic endorsement from him. But just before Super Tuesday, Fairey says, he got a call from the campaign telling him to go ahead and make a poster and distribute it in his typical guerrilla fashion.

The campaign asked him to make a poster. They approved it and asked him to distribute it. It speaks for itself.

Yes, I don’t know what the script is. I can see the word kills, but I don’t recognize it. Whatever it is, it looks like its written above the two-faced Janus head.
