Artist Statement

Obama was - in 2008 - the first politician that truly sparked excitement in me. He spoke about complex issues in nuanced ways - he seemed to want to find the root of problems rather than simplifying them down to ideologically blunt political tools. He was also cool! This combination alive in one American politician was/is a rare beast. He inspired me to get involved the one way I knew how - design. I sent away for silkscreened shirts and I printed out stickers from my home computer. I pestered friends and relatives to buy my wares to offset the production costs. Slowly it became clear I wasn’t the only artist inspired by Obama. And now I’m happy to look back and see we were all part of a rare moment in American history when a political figure actually energized the creative class! — Isaiah King
