Holy crap! While poking around NOTCOT, I found this article about cool 2009 Etsy calendars. And, guess what!? Our 09 Obama Calendar was featured!! We’re in there with some very nicely designed pieces and I am so flattered! Many thanks to The Words in My Mouth!

I mean, I have seen people leach off popular and successful design, but man, this is so blatant and public!
The colors, the fonts, the icons for donating and volunteering, the use of videos, and the social networking Facebook-type options — including Twitter, which hardly exists in Israel — all reflect a conscious effort by the Netanyahu campaign to learn from the Obama success.
…
Those who created the Obama Web site, including Thomas Gensemer, managing partner of Blue State Digital, say the Netanyahu site is closer to Mr. Obama’s than any others they have seen.

It took me a week after the election, but finally I finished my 09 Obama Calendars! I love how they turned out (and hopefully many others do too)!

*Phew* It’s been a little while, huh? And it seems things have gotten a little political, too… And, though I have thought about writing about my extreme disappointment that Prop 8 went through, I don’t want things to get too heavy-handed here. Perhaps I’ll get into it later.
Anyways, Jack and I had a very eventful weekend, full of out-of-town-ers and birthdays!
Friday night old Atlanta friends came to town and we went out for soup dumplings in China Town and dive bars at Tompkins Square. We met and took pictures (which I am still waiting on) with an amazing Obama impersonator. He even got two of his buddies to dress up as (very convincing) secret service!
Saturday, was Mani’s birthday! And, to celebrate, a huge group of us went to our favorite birthday restaurant, Milon (or, as we like to call it, Indian Techno). I highly, highly recommend, but be prepared for tight quarters, lots of chili pepper and christmas lights, loud music and tons of fun!

Last night we toasted, with sparkling cider, to our new president, Barack Obama!

Well, last Friday was very productive, indeed, and I plan on keeping up on this limited-internet routine for a while. But before I log off, I wanted to share some pictures from this weekend. Friday night Jack and I ventured down to Banksy’s show, The Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill. It was very cool and not nearly as crazy-packed as I thought it was going to be. (That’s not to say it wasn’t packed… it was… but, I was half-expecting a line around the block.) We hope to check it out again before it closes on the 31st.
Then we saw these 3 Obama mannequins in a clothing store’s window. Then saw 3 more in the other window! Kinda creepy, but think of all the hope and change we could get out of SIX Obamas runnin’ round the White House!
Hilarious video about how, oddly enough, in birth control ads, sex and babies (or the lack thereof) aren’t really mentioned.

ISO50 posted a great, detailed step-by-step of his “Progress” poster, created for Obama’s fund-raising efforts. The guy is meticulous and talented with textures and color!
