On the eve of the first official Vice Presidential debate between TINA FEY SARAH PALIN and JOE BIDEN, none other than THUNDERDOGSTUDIOS ‘ head artist and toymaker TRISTAN EATON unveils three new poster designs created at the invitation of the BARACK OBAMA campaign to promote his new website, VoteForChange.com. Dedicated to increasing electoral participation, this secure site represents the largest voter registration campaign in history, and has registered over 300,000 people since its launch. Following Obama’s unprecedented step of reaching out to underground artists, starting with Shepard Fairey, to create fresh new imagery to reach youth culture nationwide and modernize political aesthetics, the campaign’s first images by Tristan are hitting streets as we speak, and a collectors edition has just been made available at Thunderdogstudios.com.

Presidential non-contender Barack Obama poses with his newly-appointed Porn Czar/Minister of Depravity, Terry Richardson…

Wow, BARACK, really? A photo with TERRY RICHARDSON? For reals? Never mind it was shot in 2007 for Vibe Magazine, isn’t it funny how it’s making the rounds right now?!? Doesn’t he, like, take photos of people with baseball bats up their asses and naked girls in every state of disgustitude known to man? Did your people REALLY not know who he was when you shot this? Don’t you have two young daughters and a family-values gameplan that the Republicans will shred you to pieces over if they put 2 + 2 together on this one? Besides, hasn’t everyone and their underage cousin been photographed by/with T-Bone at this point? Aren’t you already behind in the polls because of a born-again, right wing Alaskan Hockey Mom’s pro-family, anti-abortion stance? Isn’t the mind of a Middle American voter scary enough without giving them this to figure out? Aren’t you already trailing McCain in the polls after an amazingly advantageous six months in the lead? Isn’t admitting you listen to Jay-Z on a regular basis dangerous enough in a country where the White House could easily double as a church pulpit? Well, it was fun while it lasted, bro. Hope you frame this 8 x 10 for the family piano. Every time you look at it you’ll be reminded of that year you tried to run for president…

Isn’t that rap sheet supposed to read 7′4,” 520lbs?…

A week after the DNC wrapped in snow-white Denver, CO, we bring you a first look at the mugshot from SHEPARD FAIREY’s arrest on August 25 for “interference with police authority and posting unauthorized posters.” Taking a break from his duties hosting the pro-Obama “Manifest Hope” art show, Shep was busy plastering downtown Denver with his signature Obama posters when cops in full riot gear and guns drawn reportedly shouted “Get on the fucking ground or we’re going to kick you in the fucking head!” Fairey and his crew were then zip-tied, accused of being “anarchists” for wearing all-black outfits, and led to jail where he spent 15 hours eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and giving each other body cavity searches before pleading out to the police interference charge with six months unsupervised probation and a $100 fine. Hopefully, as First Artist under an Obama administration, Fairey and his ilk will have diplomatic street immunity for at least four years. HAVE A LOOK: Read the rest of this entry »
