When the artists turn on you...

This made my weekend. And it's only Friday.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see the art of the political dissent poster monopolized by Kool-aid drinking Marxist agitators armed with an iMac and a BFA from some elitist east coast art school. Graphic design annuals over the last 8 years have been clogged with hateful anti-Bush posters, often so questionable in design value it's clear they were selected for their political statement alone.

The conservative designer is a rare breed. I know of 3. So, in the "real news" vein of "man bites dog" — some artist out there isn't playing nice in the Marxist sandbox. This image from Tammy Bruce's website is making the rounds on Twitter. It's brilliant. Subversive. Hits at the heart of BHO's real problem. And I have no doubt this is the last time I'll see it in publication. The liberal-dominated AIGA crowd plays no favorites, except when it comes to liberal politics.

What the world needs is more of this. I'm inspired. Hand me my t-square.
