BARACK OBAMA – CANVAS PRINTS
If one thing that catches the imagination of people, it is the life of celebrities and their life styles. Celebrities, especially movie stars and political and of late not to be outdone, even sports personalities, are somehow have always been pet subjects of gossip columns and media. Sometimes people are so crazy about these celebrities that they behave as if these celebrities are their very lifeline. And once you become famous and a global figure at that, anything you do will sell like hot cakes. During the old times, we could see pictures of erstwhile President Kennedy and Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe with equal flourish everywhere though they belonged to different fields’ altogether. Ultimately, it is the name that sells.
Now, it is not uncommon to see pictures of Barack Obama staring at you wherever you go, be it a market, a movie hall, a restaurant or even a friend’s place. This has nothing to do with what he has achieved or done to the American populace since his ascent to the topmost office the American democracy, like no sign of economy revival or solution to nation’s security threats. His portraits and canvas prints are selling well and those who started it as a temporary past time during his campaigning, are forced to continue selling and making money too as the pictures, original as well as reproduction versions like canvas prints, are doing good business, which is only second to earlier demand for John F. Kennedy’s posters. Many full time and part time painters and artists’ world over are making neat revenue now on the internet and outside too, and hope to continue as long as the demand stays.
