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

[…] I’d like one featuring Obama, entirely in shades of light brown, and captioned TAUPE. Update: Done. Here’s a great tutorial on how to make your own vectorized poster using Photoshop and […]
the internet is a little richer now.
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.
UPDATE:
My HOPE IS TAUPE poster got included on a kickass Obama:Hope poster collection site, here: http://www.posterpage.ch/exhib/ex216oba/ex216oba.htm
Hi there,
I would love one of these posters – is there any way I can buy one? Please!
Kindest regards,
Emma
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
Nice to know someone is thinking on my frequency.
Good Job. Has a Sepia appeal.
since the obamas have re -decorticated the white house, i think i will wright a book and title it THE AUDACITY OF TAUPE,SOUND FAMILIAR.
Very prescient!
