OBAMA: Hope is Taupe

Yeah, I couldn’t help myself. I made this Barack Obama poster, an homage to Shepard Fairey’s original.

Hope is Taupe

If you like this poster, you should definitely check out my Barack Obama Hallowe’en Costume.

    I was trying to think of a parody of the “HOPE” poster on the way to work. I’m glad I did a search before messing around in Photoshop. The internets got to it before I did. Nice job.

    Hi Emma-

    I don’t sell the posters- I just made this image a few inches tall to put it on the web, and wouldn’t know the first thing about printing it as a real poster.

    If you want to somehow make a copy of the TAUPE poster, I don’t mind… although if you’re making them in order to sell them, I suppose I, and Shepard Fairey, the original creator of the HOPE poster, should each get a cut!

    As for the other HOPE-style posters- the red/blue Obama one or the funny spoof ones, etc…. well, you could try to track down the original creators.

    Good luck!
    Nicole

    Good Job. Has a Sepia appeal.
