Yep, this an official update to yesterday article - "Lincoln - Obama Pop Art," I got a e-mail this morning straight from the source JetSetGraffiti.com. Jet Set Graffiti is the street team behind Ron English that is aiding with posting these posters all over the country and a dispering the word on the web via /Abraham-Lincoln.So here is the email I got in it's complete totality:

First, and most importantly, to support the Obama campaign; The link to
purchase the open edition Abraham Obama poster:

On July 2nd, Ron English went to Gallery XIV in Boston to treat the locals
to a fantastically colorful display of larger than life posters of his
historic and iconic image; "Abraham Obama". An interesting fusion of
Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama, this image raised all kinds of
questions among the fine art cognoscenti in Beantown.



Later that evening, exactly 232 years after the signing of the Declaration
of Independence, and under the cover of darkness, the ghost of Abraham
Lincoln cast his vote for our next president of the USA by wheatpasting
Ron’s offset posters all over the city.  The next morning the
“crisis” started as Gallery XIV began fielding tons of phone calls
from concerned citizens, business owners, and even the Mayor’s office…
Who could have created such Anarchy in the streets? Now they know; Lincoln
says, “That’s Wassup!”
