The Date Farmers. Funny enough it is http://www.thedatefarmers.com. Maybe they just put up their website?

Oh and here is the only other depiction of Barack in all of his badassness.

Are the dates showing wrong for everyone, or is it just me? Cheers!

It is really interesting on a lot of levels. It is so interesting to see how the artist chose to depict Obama in the simplest form. This goes along with the idea that this was made so simplistically, but it is just as effective as the official campaign posters that were distributed by the Obama camp. I think the most valuable part of looking at this poster is seeing that it graphics don’t have to be overdone and glossy to look beautiful and have a profound effect on the viewer. It worked apparently, because he got elected, so I think these Date farmers should probably open up a studio, and make some cash off their skills.

I’m dated on my Espanol – can anyone please translate?
I like the recent Spider-man comic of spidey taking a pic of Obama :)

It has a human warmth to it.

Brilliant to see Obama become president yesterday. I thought his description of people as a ‘patchwork’ of cultures / appearances was appropriate. Huge job ahead and he needs the American people behind him. good man.

Man, this poster is truly bad ass. It looks as if it were screened on an old rusty sign.

I didn’t know about The Date Farmers.

When I first read this post, I thought that this poster was done by some actual migrant workers, down there on the Texas date farms.

Still cool though.

And yes, he does look quite “badass”.
