Description

Originally created by legendary pop surrealist Ron English, Abraham Obama is an image melding the faces of Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama. It soon became one of the most recognisable icons indirectly involved with Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The Abraham Obama image became the centre of an image tour when a crew of merry pranksters - Ron English, Daniel Lahoda and Don Goede - put up as many posters and stickers of the image as they could in every city they passed through.
