I've searched FR and the web, but I can't find an excellent graphic that portrayed the big 0 as Lenin. I know it was posted somewhere here on FR and was perfect for displaying on my car and giving to friends to display (with the artist's permission of course). Should've bumped the thread, but I didn't so shame on me.
Dissent is patriotic, right? Help me do my part, please.
Nateman,
That is very close to what I was looking for - wonderful graphic for those that know history.
I need a little more ‘in your face’ for the libs in Minneapolis. It takes a lot, believe me.
I just finished this one yesterday. No Lenin here but even an Obamanation voter can understand this one.
I could see myself wearing that T-shirt. I’m not a T-shirt type of woman, but I could see myself wearing it to the Jason Lewis tax cut rally in St. Paul.
Cool!
Wow. Nice graphic, really great.
Is that your creation? If so, may I steal it?
Thanks.
Altered an old one for a "change".
Hey, that one’s very cool, but you misspelled “Abandon.”
I am a graphic designer and artist who spent a few college credits studying the history of graphic and fine arts. It's more than just the portrait that is indicative of Soviet-styled propaganda. The typographic treatments, the colors, subject matter and the bold, contrasty style of the "Hope" poster are all pulled right out of the early 1930's-era Cubist/Constructivist/Socialist graphic arts. Those posters depicting the Laborers, especially those with the main figure holding a flag or hammer, I have seen over and over again among the Obama propagandists. Just look at the masthead of the Daily Kos - that's Commie graphic work straight out of 1931. It looks like something that mural artist and Mexican Revolutionary Diego Rivera would have done. Here are some comparisons I found between Obama propaganda and vintage Soviet posters. I didn't include the vast array of "Bauhaus" inspired posters (very graphic block type set at an angle) that are also used by Obama artists... that style was utilized overall throughout Europe and is more indicative of the time period rather than Socialism/Communism.
1) "Noble Leader" portrait treatment:
2) Radiant savior/ Messiah treatment:
2, v.2) Glowing, floating head/ coin profile treatment:
("The symbol of peace- symbol of socialism.")
3) Radiating symbol/ "O" / Soviet seal:
(This one supposedly says: "Bread and Friendship are our basis." But note the radiant treatment of the communist seal behind it.)
4) Environmental Theme:
("We will care for the Earth like a flower to promote Peace.")
Look at 'em quick before they change all the links again!
That is sooo funny!!
Was that the committee that did the porkasourus bill?
Great post! Thanks for the excellent info.
Fixed it.
