Blisspop: Shutter shades Obama shirt
Obama T-shirt designed to promote the Blisspop monthly dance night (held at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC) and to support the 2008 election of Barack Obama. In my shirt design, I intended to capitalize on youthful enthusiasm for the Obama campaign, combining the iconic image of the smiling soon to-be president with the shutter shades and bright colors of late-2008 nightlife.
Electronica artist Moby wore the shirt while DJing at Shepard Fairey's Manifest Hope Inauguration Party in Washington, DC. Photos appeared online and in Rolling Stone Magazine.
