Pulp Free

Since the whole election (should) be wrapping up tomorrow, I thought I’d take a final moment to add another campaign item that I’ve found interesting. Obamabats is a font that has 24 dingbats of Barack Obama along with some other patriotic design elements that you can use in making your own Obama media art.

Without any real effort you can now make lasting images for any use… From Jeff Domke’s Web site:

If you walk through Brooklyn, you can find several massive Obama paintings/graffiti pieces on garage doors and old brick walls. Inspired by this notion (and time between freelance projects) I decided to create a collection of dingbats that would allow anyone to easily build similar artwork.

Honestly - even the Obama campaign has done an excellent job at having downloadable media assets available… logos, signs, posters, 4-color EPS files… McCain’s Web site… Not so much… If anything it does show a bit of how the each of the candidates have embraced technology for their campaigning efforts…

Now it’s off to go make some more posters…

Knowing that I had such a good time with finding the Sarah Palin Action Figure from a few weeks back, I was doubly amazed to find that there’s now a set of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls bearing the likeness of Obama & Biden and McCain & Palin being auctioned on eBay for charity. I do remember the craze from the 80’s… My sister even had one of the original cloth-faced dolls named Gail Jerry… (Don’t ask me about Clay Merrill…) But while the action figure was cool… These are just creepy…

I mean - doesn’t the McCain/Palin combination seem a bit like J. Howard Marshall & Anna Nicole Smith? Man… Only 6 more days of this kind of fun!!!
