NEVER TOO LATE FOR HOPE…

i finally finished up my poster for Upper Playground’s Obama print series.

some info from the website:

All proceeds from the sales of the poster will go directly to creating more campaign t-shirts, posters, and stickers by other artists in support of Obama’s bid for President. Stay tuned for more Upper Playground projects in support of Barack Obama to be announced up until the election on November 4, 2008.

Cody Hudson’s Barack Obama poster is part of an ongoing series from Upper Playground of artist collaborations in support of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Upper Playground has endorsed Obama’s campaign by creating posters featuring artwork from Justin Bua, David Choe, Grotesk, The Date Farmers, Munk One, Ron English, Alex Pardee, Morning Breath, Mac, Sam Flores, Burlesque Design and Mear One, in addition to printing T-shirts with Shepard Fairey’s Obama graphics to help support the campaign.

it is available here.

hope is a joke. its sad to see the hip hop and art community being fooled once again. Obama is not going to get elexted. and if he was elected nothing would change. take the bag off your head and wake up. 911 was a inside job the nwo is real. do something different and stop making silly obama hope art. its week. meaningless. its only proaganda that futher confuses the public in believing. OBAMA IS CFR and NWO

Who's Hope??? The only hope for Obama is he hopes he gets elected! Nothing will change - he is as much a panderer as the next politician. read his book and check the facts - he is as full of crap as the rest of them.
