“When people think of a portrait of Obama, they think of this image.”

This is an interesting article about Fairey:

Obey Plagiarist Shepard Fairey

I thought some of his stuff looked eerily familiar. Fame and fortune come easily to people with no soul.

looking at this objectively (which is really hard because i really detest this blabbering fool) i have to say that the artwork is actually interesting. the use of unexpected colors and unusual texture is startling and fresh. if this were done in black and white or other (normal) colors it would not be nearly as striking. i do like the style if not the content. maybe if it was elvis or james dean or marilyn monroe?

Yes, but Iconic is a far stretch.

true. but try to imagine a portrait of a marine in afganistan as the subject with those same colors and style. now that would be awesome.

Obama is doing everything in his power to make you believe he is the best thing since sliced bread.

Isn’t it odd that he is trying so hard?

His entire campaign - not just the images, but especially the images and “bad art” - felt like a USSR-icon and “supreme soviet” styled re-run.

The Liberals love to pay homage to the first Black president. Never a day goes by where they don’t kiss his ass.

At least those of us on the Right just refer to him as yet another Dumbass Democrat. Color don’t matter.
