I’m sure you’ve seen the iconic Obama poster by Shepard Fairey. What you probably didn’t know is that it was inspired by a similar poster a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

    Hey! My business partner and I designed & produced an Obama T-shirt titled "A New Hope." Two different images of Obama as a lightsaber-wielding Jedi knight. It's available at our store, Thompson Street Comics, at 215 Thompson Street in Greenwich Village, NYC.
