I thought this video was hilarious. It shows a young Barack Obama talking about how he plans to throw the most inspirational party on campus ever.

Finger painting is popular among children. But artist Dito Von Tease has transformed it into an art style and named it Ditology. He took pictures of his index finger and turned them into immediately recognizable famous faces. His portraits include depictions of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Hello Kitty, Micky Mouse and others

Douglas Jennings is a leading figurative sculptor based in the UK. His statues can be seen worldwide, from The Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace to high profile public commissions including the celebrated statue of Johnny Haynes at Fulham Football Club Stadium and his widely acclaimed portrait of President Barack Obama.

His artistic approach to sculpture is varied both in style and medium, sculpting with sensitivity to the human form, whether in miniature or large scale bronze. His work not only captures the strong aesthetic of his subjects, but reflects their personality and character in his highly accomplished style.

Anonymous artist and Reddit troll, Shitty Watercolour, is wowing the web with his not so shitty appropriations of world famous art works. Becoming popular on the pages of Reddit with his bad watercolour drawings of everything from cats to Barack Obama, Shitty Watercolour has recently revealed he is a 19 year old student at University of York (after having to deny he was Roald Dahl collaborator Quentin Blake).

These moonlighting American presidents. There’s Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter. And now we find Barack Obama, pop singer. He’s been hitting a rough patch on the political side lately, but he’s at least hitting some right notes on these spliced-up pop song mashups by an enterprising YouTube user who’s also hawking tees along with the laughs. So, how does Obama fare? He totally kills Call Me Maybe, is semi-convincing for Sexy And I Know It, but totally flops when it comes to channeling his inner pop diva for Born This Way and Drink To That.

It’s not easy being a politician. You spend years climbing up to your position of power, only to be upstaged by pups that take a shortcut by literally getting on top of your head. US president Barack Obama and former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi have found this out the tough way, as imagined by Helsinski-based artist Emma Tryti.

With the pre-election battle in America well and truly warming up, it’s a good time to look back at this brilliant mixed-media stop motion music video which was made to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama and features the work of toy artists Dalek [a Lost At E Minor contributor], Bill McMullen and Kubrick. It takes Adam Freeland’s remix of Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic to another level altogether.

Love him or hate him, photographer Terry Richardson has an impressive record. He’s snapped just about everyone, including Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, and Kate Moss. His most recent move is a collaboration with eyewear brand Moscot to create the ‘Terry’, a reproduction of his trademark specs. They’re available now in black or grey through the Moscot website. Flannel shirt not included.

Miami’s up-and-coming arts district got a little bit cooler last year with the opening of Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, an art gallery-meets-bistro-meets-watering hole that has Miami hipsters swooning. Built inside an old warehouse, Wynwood has a sleek, minimalist look that provides a perfect backdrop for the art on display. An 11-foot-high sculpture of a rainbow-hued man greets guests upon entry, and murals by Shepard Fairey — better known for creating that iconic HOPE poster featuring Barack Obama — adorn the walls.

The art extends from the restaurant out front to the kitchen in the back, where Chef Marco Ferraro creates his own sausages of pork, beef, lamb and veal. Not a fan of meat? Try the equally delicious cilantro-laced seafood ceviche, or the delicate roasted beet and walnut salad. Or just go for a drink – with 40 beers and 70 bottles of wine to choose from, you won’t be disappointed.

We featured a series of guest contributions from iconic street artist Shepard Fairey, a little while back, where he wrote about the work of some of his favorite artists, photographers, and DJs. Fairey’s controversial and iconic image of Barack Obama was featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s 2009 Person Of The Year issue, but even before that, he was well known as the creator of the ubiquitous Andre The Giant sticker. Obey! He is also one of the main players in Banksy’s new movie, Exit Through The Gift Shop. Read the posts that Shepard Fairey wrote for Lost At E Minor.

Super catchy old-school pop songs delivered by the enigmatic raspy-voiced Jack Medicine keep The Electric Illuminati on regular rotation here at the English household. Subjects for songs range from a messianic Barack Obama, to MC Supersized (the 500 pound Ronald McDonald), to a sequel to the Beatles song, Fool on the Hill. Jack sings the clever, darkly optimistic lyrics I have always wanted to hear in pop songs with energetic aplomb and a glee that would make Kurt Cobain’s corpse blush. Full disclosure: I am the band’s lyricist.
