Hmmm, Benjamin Netanyahu’s new website sure looks familiar. I guess we are pretty good friends with Israel these days huh? Check out what the New York Times had to say about it.

These great pics, taken from behind the scenes on election night 2008, capture the soon-to-be President Elect Barack Obama with Jo Biden, watching the television coverage with their family and staff; including John McCain’s concession speech. The photos appear to give a really intimate look at what seem like private moments between Obama and his wife, mother-in-law, daughters and Vice Presidential Candidate; as well as congratulatory comraderie with his staff. There are also pics of the candidate and his crew making the journey to the stage to make his acceptance speech. See the flickr set here .

Wow, you guys are snapping up the “History” prints at an impressive clip. At this rate they will sell out by end of next week. But fear not, we’ve got more Obama art for you.

The American Evolution is now available as a t-shirt. The 253 portraits that make up the flag on the T-shirt are each unique combinations of Lincoln, FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK, Clinton, Gore, and Barack Obama. The piece was part of Hyperakt’s “The New Hope” exhibit at Geneva’s Flux Laboratory.

Obama has made history!!! We have all been a part of it. To commemorate this historic event we have created some new posters based on the “New Hope” series. A limited run of 100 numbered prints, signed by artist Deroy Peraza, will be available in four colors. To see the quality of the prints, check out the sold out “New Hope” series here. We will also make the artwork available for free shortly, as we did with the previous series, so you can print your own at home.

My girlfriend, Jenna, and I were up bright and early this morning. The excitement was hard to contain. We got to PS 58, our polling station at 6:15 am. The school gym was already completely full! Never have I seen so many smiles and so much excitement on an election day. What a difference from the apathy of 2004! You can feel the excitement in the air. Everyone knows they are rewriting history today.

Here are some pictures from Hyperakt’s “The New Hope” exhibition opening last weekend at Geneva, Switzerland’s Flux Laboratory. The opening was a huge success.

Geneva has a serious case of Obama fever and our work was very well received. So well received, in fact, that most of the pieces sold in the first two days! Cynthia Odier and her team at Flux made us feel right at home. What an awesome space. See the pictures for yourself. Oh, and check us out on Swiss Television.

For many, seems like their idea of heaven. For some, the word ‘infomercial’ can conjure up bad memories of Deion Sanders’ Hot Dog Express (shiver), no matter who it is. Fortunately, Obama has utilized his usual top-notch (and well-paid, no doubt) band of talented party peeps for a well-produced ’special’ on how the Dem’s top guy is everyone’s top guy. Check it out.

Oh, and if you’re feeling a little need for some Billy Mays magic, knock yourself out with some Oxy-strength gansta rap.

Yes, the same doods that brought about a cultural phenomenon loved the world over by men from all walks of life have revisited the ad campaign to theorize where these (cheap) beer-guzzing, fun-loving, catch-phrase-spreading guys are today, eight years after…well, you know. Check it out.

Our free printable Obama posters continue to make their rounds throughout the land, spreading its message of Hope and of cool stuff that is free. Lindsey is one of the latest to spread this message, proudly displaying our artwork in her window. Thanks for the flickr love, Lindsey! Nice flickr, btw. I never knew Akron could be so lovely. Maybe there’s hope for that swing-y state, after all.
