Seymour Chwast x Freshjive “McBush” T-shirt
by Eugene Kan, October 13, 2008
Few have reached the heights of Seymour Chwast in the graphic design realm. Co-founder of Push Pin Studios with Milton Glaser and Edward Sorel, Chwast has created a special t-shirt for Freshjive titled “McBush” which plays into the current presidential race. Chwast’s rise started in the 1950s as the artist brought forth a style which emphasized “a playful expressive approach to type and layout based on revivalism… a radical alternative to the Swiss formalism at the time.” Furthermore, his sense of concept and design meshed with his humor-based approach would work well together as Push Pin Studio sought to re-vitalize the relationship of illustration and design. Chwast’s success have been widely documented in numerous publications with the artist taking an active stance in expressing his political and social views via his iconic style. This t-shirt available now, is the first of a few designs from Chwast for Freshjive’s “World Problems” collection of t-shirts. Proceeds from this shirt will be donated to the Barack Obama campaign.
this the most idiotic thing i’ve seen in a while. only a hype-believing mindless tool would wear a shirt like this. ohh wait …perfect for the average Obama supporter.
When can we expect the Obama/Lenin shirt?
those drawing suck, my half retarded 3 year old brother could have drawn them better
good example, and sad.
Sal the Stockbroker (from Stern show) went to Harlem and asked black people about who they would vote for and why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PgV3_1_qlc
both of you guys are fucking stupid the shirt is just 2 show were you stand in the election…. chill the fuck out! not that serious
I’m no repub, but the above poster is right. Many democrats in congress voted for Bush’s policies but you dont really hear anyone acusing them of being Bush cronies. And yet, the “geniuses” in the entertainment and fashion industries eat it up and accept it as truth. All politicians are in for themselves anyway. People, read some books or articles written by academics or anyone with a brain, then form your own opinion. Do you really want some moron like Kanye or P.Diddy tell you how to vote?
This shirt is proof of the ignorance people choose to display, and how many automatically believe what they hear. Read into your actions first….. Anyone who does the research will see that McCain and Bush differ greatly in many policies.
