ok, so i dont ever remember a thread dedicated to political art... so here it is :D

Feel free to post links and pictures to some of your favorite political artwork, and your interpretation if you'd like. Post links to the artists as well if you would like

Here is my favorite... the Pearl Jam poster from the 2006 Washington DC show... created by Brad Klausen, a pearl jam designer and poster artist

Obviously the artist was not pulling any punches when it came time to use the Washington DC poster to convey a very powerful message using imagery. The reaper cloaking himself under wraps of the beautiful American flag, while wielding a blood soaked sickle in front of a large cross and carrying a fistful of dog tags. Also take notice of the stealth fighters found in each corner of the cross. A very powerful and striking image that is perfectly accompanied by a real contrast and "pop" provided by the red, white, and black inks. The "pop" is really helped by the fact that this is not printed on back paper, it is actually black ink on white paper, so all the black you see is actually black ink and not the paper color. That little twist provides a very crisp contrast that really helps put this piece over the top.

A+++++ work on this one... i personally own it and plan on getting a nice professional frame job for it very soon...
