The Obama Experiment 2.1


The Obama Experiment has been a fun project to do over the summer of 2008. It was neat to be part of Barack Obama's movement for change not only through my art, but other avenues of getting the word out.

The Obama Experiment is in final phases of getting cleaned up again. Deciding on whether or not I would like to keep it running after the campaign. Think I will, it might be fun to do an Obama inspired print from time to time.

2.1 Really was just another scrub with the brush to clean up any last bits of disorganization.

Found this pic online, it is of a meteor that crossed the sky while a bunch of observers were out late one night and just happened to catch it on film.

Explanation: On September 30, a spectacular bolide or fireball meteor surprised a group of amateur astronomers enjoying dark night skies over the Oklahoma panhandle's Black Mesa State Park in the Midwestern US. Flashing past familiar constellations Taurus (top) and Orion, the extremely bright meteor was captured by a hillside camera overlooking the 2008 Okie-Tex Star Party. Astronomy enthusiast Howard Edin reports that he was looking in the opposite direction at the time, but saw the whole observing field light up and at first thought someone had turned on their car headlights. So far the sighting of a such a bright bolide meteor, produced as a space rock is vaporized hurtling through Earth's atmosphere, really is a matter of luck.
