For the better part of 2008, the hardworking print team here at Burlesque has been screenprinting thousands of Obama posters for Upper Playground. Their huge series features poster designs from Ron English, Cody Hudson, David Choe, Morning Breath, Grotesk, and many others.

We ended up having a bunch of scratch + dent posters and miscellaneous less-than-perfect leftovers hanging around the studio, so we convinced a few Twin Cities business to let us do storefront window displays of all of these Obama posters we'd been printing (along with a grip of the ubiquitous Shepard Fairey designs) which will be running through election day.

Here are the highlights:

Treehouse Records:

PUNY / Pink Hobo:

PUNY is responsible for the artwork and animation for the "T-Pain Calls Akon" cartoon and they also do alot of great animation work for Yo Gabba Gabba. Pink Hobo is their art gallery, named from leftover letters from the old space "LIENS BOOKSHOP"

Pink Hobo detail:

Fifth Element:

The best rap record store in town, owned by Rhymesayers.

Big Brain Comics:

Minneapolis' one-stop for comics and graphic novels and other nerdy art-related book things.

And if you'll be in Minneapolis on October 25th, we're hanging all of our weird one-of-a-kind test print versions of the Obama posters up in our gallery:
