Speaking to U.S.

I find it interesting - how you have chosen to represent him. It shows that he won't be played by all the "wannabe" ballers, shot callers of American politics.

I think Banksy's a little better with his overspray...

And his symbolism.

Alas, you found me. Banksy does NOT own stenciling. Nor does Shepard Fairey own posters. I admire both of these artist but am doing something a bit different. I am attempting to affect American politics with art.

P.S. I'll work on my over-spray & symbolism.

Ray: Thanks for your visit. Can't wait to see where your work will take you. I guess the streets and Flickr can be a good hybrid-vehicle for this goal. I'm curious to know why you stuck that microphone cord in the state of Texas. Did you actually have to choose which state? P.S. Your work was featured in Chicagoist and Chicago Public Radio WBEZ (Thanks to Margaret and Andrew).
