Ok, so for those of you who missed the great moral quandary leading up to 'Art and Soul', I was torn over the question of weather making an Obama-themed piece would be a crass, commercial exploitation of a rather significant moment in American history. I finally decided to go for it- principles be damned! A decisive, if despicable, plan of action... if I had had the chops to pull it off.
Which I didn't. Crashed and burned.
This image is amazingly frustrating- for instance, using the wood grain as a flesh tone comes so close to working.... while still *thoroughly* failing to work at all. Bah.
Well, here it is, the infamous Obama piece, standing as a testament to the fact that selling out really is hard to do, just not for the reasons that you'd expect.

how is it possible that, after hours of hearing and participating in this argument, i had absolutely no idea you had done this image?
yeah no idea.
