good old Bill..


rip-off of the iconic Barack Obama 'hope' poster. originally copied the 'hope' theme, but then got into a big mental debate whether he really represents hope when hope applies to the potential of something, whereas Bill has no potential to change the world now, he's left it up to us to make the world better - so the hope is with us.

Didn't realise before starting this how much of an effort tracing is..

As Bill Hicks is one of my personal heroes and i really dig OBEY art - it's no surprise that i think this is superb! :D It's a great tribute to dear ol' Goat Boy and the artwork is skillfully rendered. Nice! :+fav:

hey thanks a lot dude, your words mean a lot, and it's always good to hear from other fans of bill.. :)

wish i'd used different colours though, to make it slightly different from the obama one.. fitted the zeitgeist i guess though.
