I’ve spent my last two weekends at the DC and San Francisco Green Festivals, which are basically these enormous convention center-style public expositions for people who are interested in living more sustainably. There are 5 Green Festivals around the country each year, and people come with their families … sort of like going to the auto show [...]
“No Drama Obama.” He’s about to be the President. There will be some drama. It’s fine.
Obama speaking (via youtube?) to the Governors Global Climate Summit in Los Angeles:
Shepard Fairey created his “Hope” poster by taking the same treatment he’s given Andre the Giant for the last several years and applying it to Barack Obama. By doing so, Fairley may have brought street art all the way to… the the National Portrait Gallery!

PINKO DAILY BRIEFS: Not much time this morning but a few things. The debate is raging over Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary Michelle Obama’s dress last week. Patriotic, or paintball victim?

After the jump (via FP), an aerial view of a humongous portrait Barack Obama sculpted in gravel and sand on a beach in Barcelona by artist Jorge Rodriguez Gerada “alluding to the global impact on the eve of his [Obama's] election.” Clearly the door is now open to smearing Obama for participating in beachfront esctasy-tripping [...]
