Just another excuse to release shit prints at overinflated prices and milk the cash cow.

Seems to me that most of the Obama stuff so far has either been happy fluffy rubbish or just plain dull portraits though. Not seen a single thing with any sort of edge.

Absolutely shameless...

Obama Stuff Rant.........., by melmoth on Nov 12, 2008 19:46:29 GMT 1, I agree that the Obama art is now at saturation point. I groan at the sight of another print too. However, one aspect which is interesting for us is the impact that an image by a urban artist had in this election. The original Fairy Progress print became iconic, and has led to an enormous amount of interest in him, and urban art, in the US.
I think that the unfortunate thing at the moment is that there is a lot of confusion regarding the myriad different versions of the prints, particularly the Fairey versions. People are paying way over the odds for prints on the assumption that they are one of the more limited versions, and sellers are using misleading descriptions to play into this.
Caveat Emptor? Yes. But I do feel that there is going to be bad publicity down the road associated with these sales.

BTW, on this particular print, and the Choe II, the quality of the screenprints are just fantastic. Great job by Burlesque of North America on both of them.
