Congrats A few minutes ago CNN projected that Obama wins Pennsylvania, and so let me be the first visual arts blog on the planet to congratulate President-elect Obama. Are CNN holograms cool or what? I predicted this a few years ago, but I bet that a whole new wave or ism or genre in art will be art holograms, and some poor, unknown artist somewhere in the world is toiling away right now building them from scratch, but some rich artist will be the one that pops out as the innovator once he/she buys the technology and starts showing them in a NYC gallery.

Here's a litho of the soon-to-be new Prez that I did a couple of years ago when he was a young Senator from Illinois.

Vote Tomorrow

By Tuesday night, you should have voted; if you didn't vote, then until 2012, shut the fuck up.

By Wednesday morning when we wake up, regardless of who wins, history will have been made.

By Wednesday, one of two good Americans will be President-elect of this great nation.

Vote tomorrow... or you could be the guy being discussed below...

Airborne



Airborne today and heading home after a wonderful visit to Beantown and a quick studio visit to Magdalena Campos-Pons.

Move that fucking umbrella!

Remember that I told you that Obama came to Widener University a few days ago?

My wife teaches there and is a hardcore Obamista and she braved the cold rain and went to the rally and she video'd Obama.

Problem is that there were a couple of rows of people in front of her, and because it was raining, they had umbrellas. But the people behind her couldn't see Obama and so they kept asking for the umbrellas to be moved, politely at first, and then finally the F-bomb is shouted.
