I got the idea from BowHunter. I would guess it has probably been done before.

Very nice. I supposed if the handle of the sickle is the democrat party, then the head of the hammer should be the mainstream media.

I tried to fit russian text for Pravda in the hammer head, but it looks a little bit too much.

Maybe I'll try using this as the letter "C" in NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN and see if that looks better. It could be funny. I discovered that there is a communist font and I already know the backwards "N"s for CNN will look great

I looked at the trademark for CNN. I figured with communist Ns that are backwards, I can leave the sickle open left. But there is a continuous line cursiving through the letters, so I'm a step or two away from a flash of brilliance. I need to think about it more.

I'm not the only one having fun with communist artwork. Yesterday, I was passed by a large sized truck on I 70. It passed me too quickly to identify the make, but I suspect it must have been the most expensive GM truck you can buy. It was one of those that requires a step or two just to get up into the cab and it had 4 tires on the rear axle.

The tailgate had the word "COMMUNIST" written across the bottom with wild flames of fire leaping up out of it. The back of the cab had a giant, bold "C" in block style font with the trucker mud flap girl sitting on top and with "COMMUNIST" solid black letters stamped diagonally across the entire design.

It was disturbing to see in everyday life, but I was actually thinking of my next commie bumper sticker at the exact same time I saw the truck speeding past me. Average people were probably deeply disturbed by the sight and it was most likely such an incomprehensible sight that it did not even register in anybody's awareness. I'm still in awe, as I know I have seen the master of my craft.

I have 2 more ideas to try. One will be Obama crashing through a wall with a cup of ice in one hand and a sweaty cold pitcher in the other. You guessed it. "Hey, Kool-Aid!!!!" will be the caption.

You know those half blue / half red Obama face stickers that make you frightened to drink from the tap because you swear somebody must be putting LSD in the water supply?

I also want to try that concept with my commie donkey but change the caption to "YES THEY DID!"

It still needs some more work, but it looks so nice I'm showing it off early.
At first I had something to say...but this is SO MUCH FUN! Commie art is an enjoyable pastime.

This was much more work than I bargained for. I'm sick of looking at it. If it gets copied and resold by somebody else, then people are reading this website because this is the only place I am posting the final draft



A democrat says I'm fixated about communism. But if I worried about what people might think, I'd never get anything done. Now... when I was drawing pictures of that pretty ballet dancer...that was a little bit weird... This communism thing is just me trying to make a buck. I think it is an election cycle ahead of it's time and I'm betting these will start selling if I am prepared to catch the wave.

I tried very hard to find the font that was used in the original sticker, but it was taking too long to identify. It is similar to a United font, but I just gave up and made my own copy of the font from scratch.

You know how some women LOVE pink and black? Everything they own is all pink and black? Likewise, I think this picture needed some Rock and Roll. In my mind, I can't have Elvis without UFOs. Both are in this picture.

The top left corner is the Obama Salute. I'm not making this up. If I saw that hand sign without any explanation for what it was supposed to mean, I would have guessed it was sign language for saying, "I am a big asshole."

But somebody thought this Obama Salute was very cool and is trying to give it the trendy fad lifespan of the Macarena and the Villiage People. How primitive! What if the primary challengers also have names that begin with "O"? What if the Republican has a name that begins with "O"?But it is lucky for me I found it because I was hunting for some more Democrat foolishness to add to the corner keys.

Top right is the government's logo for the new economic stimulus package.

Bottom left is a joker to replace the man faced star that used to be there. I never saw the man faced star before. It will take some research to discover the origins of that one.

Bottom right is the national debt. That won't be an accurate number for very long.

Here is that "Obama Salute" that is being offered as the new mass hysteria craze for Democrats. I imagine it is somebody's dream to have a photo of a crowd at an Obama rally where everybody is holding their hands above their heads like this in unison. Maybe this is the first time you will see this, but it might actually take off, who knows?

I hope so! I can really sell alot of these stickers if Wolf Blitzer does a story about the Obama Salute Craze!

I have an inventory of these that is very tough to sell. I think it is an exposure problem. I watch traffic monitoring for my web store and then I conclude that nobody sees these items and therefore I never can judge if the prices are too high or not.

If anybody wants some of these for free, private message me your address. Tell me what ones you want and how many. I'll give them to you with free shipping until my inventory is dry. Please put them on display or pass them out to a person who you know will use it.

I think this is what I need to do to get the spark going for my business. I want to see if this idea is wrong or if it has an effect on my sales.

I need to get these seen by the public to spark up demand. Please help if you can.
