No American political campaign in my lifetime has stirred up as much passion as Barack Obama’s race for the White House.
From Hollywood celebrities to anonymous bloggers or callers on phone-in talk shows, it seems that everyone is looking to share their views, change some minds, make a statement.
America’s artists are no exception.
Whether using digital photo editing techniques or a plain old can of spray paint, they’ve been making their voices heard – or rather, their images seen.
Here are a few stand-out selections from across the country:

I'm for McCain too, but I won't go nuts by making art work about him. Then again, I might do that for Sarah Palin!

I attended a Bellydancers for Obama fundraiser in NYC on Friday night. The dancing and music were amazing, as was the feeling that times are really changing in America. I met a 60-something African-American woman–a bellydancer herself!–and she told me that when she was young, she never thought she'd see the day when this country elected a black President. Here's my blog post about the event: ” target=”_blank”>http://mybadgirlblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/bellyda...
