Make a great postage stamp. Like the LOVE stamp.

I must be a sick puppy. Looks like blood to me. Blood running down his neck from a head wound.

First thing I thought of first time I ever saw it was the LOVE stamp from the seventies. Or was it the sixties? But, yeah, I guess you're right. Let's hope not.

Peace,
Barry

He is the best thing to happen to the USA in a long long time. I hope not too.

It's the same piece of art that was used throughout the campaign. I like it! I don't see blood at all. I just see an Andy Warhol style of colorful full contrast.

Except not sure what's around the word HOPE. Is that clouds? Or ice?

never saw that part of it before... that stuff around the word HOPE.

What's that look like to you?

is this site running really slow or is it my connection? It just took like 3 or 4 minutes for that last post to post...

Seems slow to me too.

I thought it was a slow day on the internet.

I notice that white too, kind of looks like frost or ice. I wondered what the artist's intent was.. Maybe DTD knows he was at the exhibition.

I am twisted. It looks like blood to me.

I think the white stuff around the word HOPE is glare.

I think you're right, Barry...

This piece is evidently done in glass... hence the glare, imho.

ok the white stuff is glare

one less mystery for me

What is the red stuff?

At first I thought it was stained glass but Dave said it was "Blown Glass"

I am hoping he can tell us more about it. He actually saw it in the three dimensional world.

It's just a painting of this poster

The poster was used extensively in the campaign. It's done in a style like Andy Warhol popularized.... a high-contrast two-color image. Warhol created some like this of Marilyn Monroe, remember?

In addition this style was used by CNN and other networks for their campaign headlines and images of the other candidates. It was a high-contrast theme.... an art style.
