“Brand New Funky President” custom art by Suckadelic

Artist Suckadelic Shows His Obama Support Star Wars-Style
words: Bonnie Burton

With the presidential campaign heating up, there’s bound to be a few Star Wars fans out there wanting to show their support for their favorite candidate in their own creative way. Artist Suckadelic gives his take on presidential hopeful Obama with this one-of-a-kind art piece for the Jailbreak Toys “Art + Action = Obama ‘08? art show. Star Wars Blog chats with him to get the low-down on this cool piece of Star Wars political art.

Most people don’t make art unless they’re feeling inspired, and over the past year or so, Barack Obama has inspired lots of people — some of them so much that they felt compelled to make Barack Obama-themed art, some of which is very, very, — even bloggably — strange. Culled from the wonderful compendium that is ArtofObama.com, these images might inspire you too, or curse you with weird dreams for weeks, depending on your temperament.

To begin, consider the dove. A symbol of peace, and commonly associated with public figures living, dead and fictional who inspire positive feelings in their followers. Usually, however, the doves are flying around in the background and the inspirational public figure occupies some uncluttered foreground space. Artist Derek Chatwood, however, chose to depict Barack Obama as so inspiring and hope-y that he is literally stuffed with doves, who are flying out of his various orifices. Read More

Obama from space

Obama from space

Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada sculpted a gargantuan portrait of Barack Obama on a beach in Spain out of gravel, sand and pebbles that is bigger than a football field, measuring 140 yards long by 80 yards wide. The ‘EXPECTATION‘ project is described by the Cuban-born, NYC based artist as a “large ephemeral sand painting” designed so it could be seen from Google Earth.The oversized work was meant to convey both the “global impact” of the U.S. election and the “symbolic power” it holds for people around the world. But despite the monumental work, the artist says he’s not in the tank for Obama, and described why he specifically chose this medium:

“EXPECTATION is made of sand, a material that embodies the ephemeral. It remains to be seen if the hopes so so many will disappear as quickly or will they find an enduring advocated in President Barack Obama.”

Well, if he’s not elected, John McCain could always order a military strike, since it is located in enemy territory.

STENCIL AMERICA! Brief Bio
For those of us who cannot drop everything and join the campaign as full-time anythings, and have contributed as much as we can afford, one of the best ways to show our support and engage our fellow citizens into politically and community based discussion is wearing our support on our sleeves, litereally. But campaign shirts can be pricey, they don’t necessarily depict why I, as an individual, support Barack Obama; and I don’t want to look like everyone else. This was the motivation for Gadi as he designed Stencil America!

The idea
Having seen the success of Shepard Fairey’s Obama print, Gadi had an art lightbulb go off. Design cool, yet simple prObama stencils so that anyone can use one and have their shirt turn out great. And since everyone will be hand made by their owner, no two shirts will be the same – conveying that we are a nation of politically conscious and actively participating individuals, not a flock of sheep blindly following anyone.

Further, we can make the stencils available on the internet to anyone, so that fellow citizens across the country can download them and make their own customized stenciled clothing and teach their friends to do it too.

Further, for those who are ambitious enough, we can take the stencils and t-shirts to the streets and engage fellow citizens into to discussion and art by giving them the opportunity to make their own shirt, bags, umbrellas, etc.; or participate in the creation of a mural on canvas, cotton or wood, in public!
