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. :)
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.
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.
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!

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.

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.
