The blog Stuff White People Like shot to blog fame last year and became a household name amongst the netizens over a very short period of time, and was an early blog to get a book deal as well. Well Christian Lander, the author of SWPL, has now collaborated on a T-Shirt with Fatamerican.tv (a company I covered back in 2007 with their Immolate Your Hero’s T-Shirt) and they are giving all the proceeds away to charity. 100% of the profits will go to Children of the Night, an organization dedicated to rescuing children between the ages of 11 and 17 who are forced into prostitution.

Few politicians have inspired such an amazing array of t-shirts as Barack Obama, here i’ve collected a few of my favorite designs and some that are just worth mentioning due to their sentiment, please link to any more you can find in the comments and i will continue to update the post with more designs to become the increasingly inaccurately named Top Ten list of Obama inspired T-shirts
Note: These items are temporarily unavailable
The poster from Ironic Sans finally available as a T-shirt (looks best on black) now being sold through Zazzle and with Lucus Film blessing
I am a french graphic designer, and i am please to announce the launch of the Obama ‘Yes, we can’ around the world – project :
The project: ‘‘Yes, we can’’ around the world is a simple project, using Print On Demand (POD) facilities to spread one universal message.
For hope and for change.
The design: A unique, one of a kind graphic is declined in several languages such as chinese, arabic, korean, spanish, hindi… and many more.
The scratched vintage graphic has been created by Simon Tran of – agentactif – graphic studio based in Paris, France.
The shirts: The ‘‘print on demand’’ principle let the buyers choose between a large selection of trendy quality shirts. American Apparel Bio shirts are available on spreadshirt.com. USA made 100% organic shirts is also available on cafepress.com.
UPDATE: just ran into this guy at the Red Bull Soap Box Derby (which was amazing) in Delores Park in SF who was wearing the DBH Obama t-shirt in the wild:
A portrait of Barack Obama, rendered in the words of his “A More Perfect Union” speech in Philadelphia by artist John Sokol. Sokol, a nationally renowned artist, has been doing word portraits of writers for over 30 years. The Obama portrait is the first politician that Sokol has ever drawn in their own words.
