A design to commemorate Barack Obama’s run for the US presidency. Personally, I think he’s a great man and I will be voting for him come November.

not sure whether this is really DBH material but voted anyway because i’d love to have one
Thanks for the comments and to those of you who voted for the design.
doctorhodt: Thanks, much appreciated. I wasn’t sure if this was DBH material either, so before I made the design, I contacted the DBH staff. I asked them if the design idea was appropriate and they said it was fine. So here it is. :)
This is not DBH material. Not at all because the art is bad, because it isn’t, but I can’t see why anyone would want to wear his face on their chest.
TheLonelyBulfry: Thanks. I think this design is definitely DBH material. Style and taste are subjective, especially here on DBH. If you want designs that are more status quo, I suggest you check out Walmart or maybe Target.
Below are some possible reasons a person might want to wear this shirt (and/or a shirt with Obama on it):
- To show their support for Obama and his run for president.
- They think Obama is sexy and they want everyone to know it.
- They love black men and this shirt expresses that love.
- They like shirts with big portraits on them.
- They like the colors.
- They like Cloxboy’s art so much they want to wear it.
- They want to wear the shirt just to spite you.
Those are just a few logical reasons I’ve thought up to wear this shirt, I imagine there are a few more.
obama! now thats a great shirt.
mccain should never get a shirt hahaha.
that guy is a bum.
sorry mate, obviously u can draw, but i think this is a worldwide shop, not only US
bogoio: Whether it’s a portrait of a politician from the US or bunnies in a flower patch, no single design is going to be appreciated by everyone. Why? Because we’re all different and yes, we all come from different parts of the world. I’ve been asked to get this shirt printed by a few people already and once it’s out of the DBH voting, I’ll sell it to a vendor. Most of the designs I see on sites like DBH are made by amateurs and opportunists, which are primarily bought by teenagers and fashion victims. I’m not saying my style is completely original but I certainly don’t intend to associate myself with the slue of trendy, rehashed and overdone designers that currently plague the indie t-shirt market.
oligark: “this is not fashion, shut up” Do everyone a big favor, have that quote printed (or better yet embroidered) on all of the clothing you own.
By doing this, all the people you encounter will receive a visual warning of the absolute ignorance that’s within their midsts. People can never be too safe when it comes to keeping belligerent morons out of their lives.
hope this makes it through. and you can safely say that the president of the us is a matter of concern for the whole world not just the states. from europe to africa, to asia, i cannot imagine a single country that would stay completely ignorant.
this is one of the best obama’s portrait i’ve seen so far.
Voted for sure.
great illustration. not sure if I would wear it on a tshirt though? thats just me though… I wont put political stickers on my car either. Dont want to get weird looks. Great illustrator skills!
This is pretty sweet, would vote for him if i could :P but besides that its a great shirt!
Cool design for a portrait of someone. Would never wear this though haha. Congrats on the win man. :)
all the candidates are terrible.
i’m not voting to avoid jury duty.
nice shirt, though.
interesting….? but none the less a great portrait, especially for a tee.
One word… Epic. HE is the best thing that has happened to this country since JFK. I got one.
lysdexicnorebo you do realize that jury duty selection is taken from DMV records, so by not being registered to vote you arent skipping any jury duty, if you want to prevent jury duty you better give up your right to drive too.
Pretty cool shirt though.
Wear this now because in a few years he’ll be a mere mortal again like the other scandalous politicians. When that much “hope” rests on one person, he will eventually fail us. Nice details on the design though.
stop politicizing an amazing shirt that does not express support but merely commemorates an important event in american history: the first viable black candidate for president. i would wear this because it is a great shirt, just as i would wear a shirt emblazoned with the image of geraldine ferraro.
Same here
