Crazy Jakes Obama artwork, by Michael Jacob on Mar 14, 2008 16:29:42 GMT 1, First off, I you want to buy it, it goes to the first person who posts on this thread wanting it (not PM).
I really liked what Obey did with Obama prints. I got one of his recent pieces listed on the Obama site. I noticed it was under the section "artists for obama." I had an idea, inspired by works of Damien Hirst. I also wanted a Hirst LSD piece but cant afford it. Anyway, I had an idea as shown below for Obama. If elected, he would be the 44th President of the US, hence the 44 dots!
I spent all last night working on it. At first I wanted to do a print, but just wasnt happy with it. I then decided a raised emboss would look cool. I worked from behind the paper and hand embossed all the dots. I ruined quite a few trial pieces. This piece came out great. Its rectangle is shape and 10x24 inches in size. Its unique. If other people want one, Ill probably do more, but they will be on larger paper.
I only want 44 Pounds for this. I will ship it flat, so shipping will cost more than a tube. Shipping to US would be 8 Pounds, to UK and Europe 11 Pounds.
If I do more, Ill probably charge a little more (Im guessing 60 Pounds), but 44 seemed appropriate for this one (almost as cheap as the run of 5000 on Obamas site; what a CrAZY bargain). Thanks for looking.

Crazy Jakes Obama artwork, by Michael Jacob on Mar 14, 2008 18:47:57 GMT 1, Lou I think the ones Im doing this weekend will be 12x26 inches. the dots will be the same as the one above, two inches apart. Im thinking a three inch boarder will work well. Ill put you down for one.
Thanks for all the positve support from fellow forum members. Im now committing to doing an edition of 10 (which doesnt include the first one above). As of right now I have requests for 7 of the 10. (still waiting on some payments).
After these ten, I plan on doing one more, in a horizontal format. After that, they are done! If theres more request, I might do a screen print (flat, no emboss), but Im not planing on it. I WILL DO NO MORE hand embossed after the ones mentioned above, thats a CRazY Jake promise (since my fingers will have fallen off).

Crazy Jakes Obama artwork, by seidbereit on Mar 14, 2008 19:00:16 GMT 1, CJ I got to say that is a quantum leap in your work (I'm sorry but I absolutely HATED the one with someone's legs hanging out of a carboard box, I just kept it to myself and the Wii thing was ok but also not really my cuppa), but this on the other hand is incredibly simple and incredibly effective both in message and execution. You can be justly proud of it.
If you do a run of these, then very much yes please for me! Well done!

Crazy Jakes Obama artwork, by Michael Jacob on Mar 14, 2008 19:08:37 GMT 1, Thanks for the orders. As of now, its sold out. I will put you on a waiting list in the event some payments arent received. Im also starting a silkscreen list, but would need quite a few orders to justify doing it. Once again, thanks for all the support!!!

Crazy Jakes Obama artwork, by Michael Jacob on Mar 14, 2008 19:11:47 GMT 1, stradled, i drew a grid on the back side of the paper. i then taped a metal ruler (with a hole in it) to a patio window. I moved the paper around lining each dot up. Once it got lined up, I started first with my finger. Then I used the end of sharpie marker and gently pushed it out. I had more failings than successes. Theres many ruined sheets lying in the trash today. The worst one was when I ruined the 42nd dot! By the end though, I was getting pretty good at it.
