In an effort to help turn our country around and celebrate the awesomeness of the Bagman. I submit for you Bagman – Make It Work. Thanks to Annie Belle’s poster for the inspiration on Brian Short’s assignment and his poster as well.
Bagman is in good company with this one. I have this FDR t-shirt which is actually a quote from one of his fireside chats, not a campaign slogan. It’s what I’d like to repeat to most politicians if I were to meet them. Actually I’d probably out of frustration, change it to, “make it work, dammit!”
This was made using a favorite technique of mine which involves using Illustrator’s LiveTrace tool to vectorize bitmapped images. I made a tutorial last summer on how to do this using Dr. Oblivion as the example.
For resources, I used one of Brian’s Bagmen, and a T-shirt image which I lightened to match the FDR t-shirt’s gray, as well as a little rubber stamping to remove the original logo.
What awesome, sophisticated work. You’re always an inspiration, MBS (also, the Romney hair looks superrad in that effect)
Thanks Brian, I really love the Bagman videos especially. I’m excited to see the TDC’s turn to video again to see you at it!
VIDEOS!!!!! I miss them.
Nice image!
I like the FDR quote. If Mitt Romney told me to “Make it work” though, I might not react so well :p
Romney would never “reach” that far doesn’t have the stomach for it.
