With Inauguration week just around the corner, it’s almost impossible to turn on the television or pass a newsstand without seeing our future commander-in-chief’s now iconic mug.  Barack Obama isn’t necessarily a beautiful man, yet has become the unofficial muse of artists across the globe.  In the last year, we’ve seen Obama’s unique visage illustrated, stenciled, silkscreened, spray painted and stamped.  It has appeared on T-shirts, decrepit alley walls, prestigous art galleries, even cookies.  With so many examples of public and private ObamArt finding the light of a brand new day, one can be overwhelmed when presented with the task of picking favorites.  Thankfully, we here at Corduroy have never been ones to back down from a challenge.  Presenting: our favorite examples of Obamart.
