"The Morning After" by Zina Saunders
Writer-Illustrator Zina Saunders is known for her quirky portraits based on current figures. She has recently collected her pictures of the McCain/Palin campaign in a 40 page full color book, "The Party's Over."
Zina says:
The website offers a preview of the first 15 pages of the book, and the actual book includes 25 more pages featuring 20 of my campaign paintings, all of which you can see in this gallery.
Now you can give Full Bleed and a Megabyte a hug!

These are just two of the cool characters from this past summer's Veer's Amazing Summer Activity book for Creatives & their Pals. There cool little world is filled with desktop wallpapers (like those above), games, and finally, cool vinyl toys!
Hopefully the rest of the gang gets immortalized soon...can you name them all?
Hint: they're all named after graphic design/art school terms...
(shot out to hj for the tip!)
Looks like you can already commemorate what everybody is saying is the highlight of the 2nd debate:
That One 08.com
Reminds me of a recent movie:
[via Talking Points Memo]
If you're like me, you love and use the font Helvetica to the point where you want that to be the name of your first daughter. Now to show the simple complexity of the legendary font's design, American Apparel has shirts that take it back to the basics: the letters themselves.
The 2001HA Helvetica Alphabet T-Shirt is available in Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Hh, Jj, Mm, and Ss with more on the way. I've already sent my request for a Jj! [via Rumplo]

Karl Long blogs about wicked t-shirts in his website Tcritic. He also begain licensing T-shirt prints from independent artists. In timely fashion the first Tcritic shirt comes from artist Eric Rewitzer of 3 Fish Studios: The Prez Dispenser!
The Obama-inspired shirt is based on a linocut by Eric Rewitzer. The only thing that would be sweeter is if Pez comes out with real Barack dispenser. I would fill it with Hope and orange Pez!
If you're like me and addicted to beverages that require steamed water (mostly tea personally, coffee not so much) you'll definitely dig this high-design/tech teapot by stock graphic image company Veer: The Sorapot!
VEER says:
Make way for the modern teapot. Short and stout, with striking architecture, the Sorapot updates teatime with contemporary style. The 11oz chamber steeps tea for two beneath a graceful arch. A marvel of design you can sit back and pore over, before it’s time to tip over and pour out. Made from stainless steel, borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and food-grade silicone.
Dimensions: 8" x 6" x 5"
Rock it as your reminder.
Definitely a fashion statement both parties can agree on.
Tons of sales you need to check out before they sail away. Ok, you saw that coming... =P

Recently artist Shepard Fairey of OBEY has recently donated his iconic Obama "Hope" poster in support for the Art For Life Art Auction. As of this writing, the 45 x 69 1 of 3 editioned collage is going for upwards of $75k.
More Obama, right?… Well, this is something special. After Shepard’s initial feeling not to make a fine art piece of the OBAMA image, he thought about it and was presented with an opportunity to do something exceptional. When Shepard was asked by industry heavyweight, Russell Simmons, to donate a piece for his Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, he felt this was a worthy cause. The piece is being auctioned for the Art For Life Charity event. This piece is approximately 4×6 foot in size and its a mixed media stencil collage on paper. It may be the only fine art piece of this image available to the public. You can bid on the piece through the Art For Life Auction here.from ObeyGiant.com
