BRISBANE DESIGNER OUTRAGES OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!
Woke up and got my local rag this morning, looked inside the front page and found…
An article about this controversial local designer. (big file)
The funny thing is that I told them that a few designers had been RIFFING ON this concept, and they misheard me and wrote that a few designers had been RIPPING OFF the concept. Crucial difference.
I wonder if it will lead to anything…?

what’s the saying ‘any publicity is good publicity’ .... something else that you can say is that this is Art and if it offends people well that is their interpretation of it. Your art is your right to freedom of speech … dont ever forget that!!

wow, that’s crazy. People are stupid and over react way to much. Nice of them to mix up your words…I guess that’s the media for you though. Take what you actually said and make it into something they can use to steer the opinions of the people.
I wouldn’t worry much about it….though the fact that you’re getting such huge International exposure is sweet. Like I said before, you must have made a small fortune with this design.
