Description

"Obama’s First 100" is a collection of drawings originally created as a way to exercise artistic creativity on a daily basis. For months, two artists watched closely as the presidential transition unfolded, looking at multiple sources to confirm facts and strip away any insignificant commentary and opinion. Upon completion they looked at their hundred illustrations and asked, “now what?” The result is this book, created to inform and entertain those who missed the events of some of the most significant days in recent history due to the distractions of life and the monotonous nature of other media sources. By publishing their images, the artists behind dfrnt hope they can help people of all ages catch up on past political news in order to better understand current and future political events.
