"Obama art'' is popping up all over.
So report our colleagues at amNewYork.com
And they have some pictures to prove it, courtesy of a "citizen-blogger'' who has done a little pop-art collecting:
The sew-on caricature of Obama is the street-artists' answer to a flag pin.
The window-pane Warhol-esque images of Obama are reminiscent of a certain brand (Pepsi)
"Cambio,'' or change, is the catchwork in some of this pop art.
See more of the images at amNewYork.com

Mark, they're also doing "McCain art".

It's nice to see art that is usually seen as vandalism being used to speak volumes. While following in the footsteps of the elusive London graffiti artist Banksy, art like this shows that there can be political messages made with a can of spray paint.
DIY politics.
I like the sound of that.

Here is another example of "McCain art":

Wow... the communists also used this type of propaganda for Mao and Lenin.

This fluff article proves Obama's Swamp surrogates are getting more and more bizarre in the promotion of their candidate.
However, if the DNC Swamp is looking for an "Obama art" story with some substance, they should look at the video posted at http://theunfocused.blogspot.com/2008/02/passing-out-signs-at-obama-rally.html
The video was taken an Obama rally, and shows how those cutesy colored "hand made" Obama posters are actually preprinted and handed out by the Obama campaign.
Yes, fraudulent "grass roots" poster art. They sink that low.

I love listening to RNC Bruce cry. The MSM is made up of 95% rightwing lockstep knuckledraggers yet Wingnuts like Brucie still find a way to whine about the other 5%.

That would come courtesy of Shepard Fairey.

Whoa, John-EEE boy! You are the one all hot and bothered to support Barr for President. Doesn't that make you a right-wing knuckle dragger too?

Pretend Lawyer,
No, that would make me a "real conservative", not a fake one who votes for George W Bush (you).

Excuse me, Blubber Head, but you avoided Bruce's point... that is that the "hand made", "grass roots" poster art is mass produced by the Obama campaign.

How was this art done without a grant from the NEA?

You? A conservative? The guy who was first the biggest cheerleader for Hillary and Obama, then just Obama, as well as for for any socialist policy du jour, is a conservative? The guy who would constantly cut-and-paste from that socialist loony bin, DailyKos, is a conservative?

Some things stretch the truth just a little too far. This time, you have gone way over the top. You are a Liar, John-EEE Boy; You are a Liar!!

I find it amazing that many of the 'Obama art' (Much of it NOT shown here) looks strangely familiar to Marxist/socialist/communist artwork. Way to go, comrades.

I'll name you lots of them that don't lie about it and say the signs are "handmade" like Obama campaign and its swamp propaganda arm, do.
