free hand sketching and "painting" with pieces of fabric. The fabrics used represent Obama as president (images of famous American icons, two images of the Liberty Bell, The Statue of Liberty, soldiers, the Eagle from the Seal of the United States and words from the seal etc.) are all present. Civil Rights images are present on this head. In addition, the lighter side of the man- his hobbies of scrabble, basketball, poker, golf and spider-Man are also an integral part of the portrait. There are 3 golfers, two large golf clubs, golf balls, playing cards, scrabble tiles and a basketball net. Spider-Man comics are a passion of the President. Inspired by a photograph in Shutterbox.com. Enhanced license.
