A Fashionable Homage to Obama

By Toccara Castleman


Hate him or love him (although if you’re reading this, chances are you love him) Barack Obama is irreplaceable. I mean, being the first Black man to receive the Democratic nod, kind of makes you a big deal. People want to give you props. People want to make you popular. People want to wear your face—on their tee shirts.

Artist and model Ambre Anderson is making the latter easy with her line of hand painted "Obama = Change" tee shirts. While other shirts on the market may have catchy one-liners "Barack…Hope / McCain…Nope", Anderson’s designs features something far more memorable, authenticity.

"My shirts come from original pieces of art," explains Anderson. "And [my] art exceeds the motivations of simply trying to get paid off Barack’s image. I hope that my shirts will help spread the popularity of Obama because he’s noble and I believe in him."

The tees-- described by Anderson as bold, inspiring, and beautiful-- feature enchanting hand painted reflections of the charismatic Presidential hopeful. What’s more, Anderson has created a new color scheme on some of her shirts that are sure to be all the rage no matter the outcome of today's vote-- red, white & Barack. Now that's a good look.
