JEmail: Breen, Jerry (MC1971) shares Obama calligraphy portrait

From: Breen, Jerry (MC1971)

Subject: Obama calligraphy portrait

To one and all: My latest creation is a new addition to a series of unique calligraphy portraits that I’ve done over the years. My calligraphy portrait of President-elect Barack Obama “In His Own Words” is literally that – Obama’s own words, from his eloquent keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, rendered by hand in calligraphy, actually forms his portrait! An absolutely unique collectible work of art. Nobody else in the world creates anything like my unique calligraphy portraits. Other subjects over the years have included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, among others. Prints are available. For an 11 by 14 inch print on fine parchment, suitable for framing, send a check or money order for $10 to: Jerry Breen, 816A Cinnamon Ridge Place, Cockeysville, MD 21030. Include your mailing address. For 3 or more prints, just send $7.50 for each print. They make great gifts. Thanks again for your interest in my art. Sincerely, Jerry Breen www.newbreen.com

CARTOON: Gerstell Academy’s “Gallery of Heroes” is President-Elect Barack Obama

From: Breen, Jerry (MC1971)

Subject: Obama painting

To one and all: My latest portrait painting for Gerstell Academy’s “Gallery of Heroes” is President-Elect Barack Obama. President Obama’s portrait joins over 175 other portraits in the halls of Gerstell Academy, a private school in Finksburg, Maryland. When the school opened its doors about 8 years ago, the founder, Dr. Fred Smith, decided to hang portraits of positive role models from history in the hallways to inspire the students. He originally envisioned about 20 portraits. As the school has grown, so has the gallery. It is now possibly the largest collection of portrait paintings by one artist in one place.

CARTOON: Obama’s seal?

From: Jerry Breen
Date: October 27, 2008 6:45:53 PM EDT
To: John Reinke
Subject: new Obama cartoon

Obama's Seal of Office

Obama

John: As you know, I don’t usually collaborate with anyone else on political cartoons, but sometimes I make an exception. A few days ago, Lonnie Mussell, a small business man from Stockbridge, Georgia, who owns a construction business, sent me the idea for this cartoon, which I drew for him. Much like the celebrated “Joe the plumber”, Lonnie is concerned that Obama’s tax plans would actually punish the middle class and small businesses. And like Joe, he was shocked by Obama’s answer that Joe should support Obama’s efforts to “spread the wealth around”. (Obama’s commitment to Socialist redistribution of wealth was confirmed by a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview in which he described his plans at great length.) So I was only too glad to help Lonnie out by illustrating his concept. Here it is. Sincerely, Jerry Breen

CARTOON: Obama and Acorn! by Breen, Jerry (MC1971)

ACORN 2 OBAMA

ACORN 2 OBAMA

From: Jerry Breen
Date: October 22, 2008 7:24:35 AM EDT
To: John Reinke
Subject: new Jerry Breen cartoon

John: Here’s another political cartoon, this one on the subject of Obama and ACORN. This is another cartoon that’s heavy on text. Sometimes I just feel like I have to educate people on the things that they should already know if they read the news, which of course they don’t. Thanks again. Check out this and other cartoons on my website, www.newbreen.com and my blog, http://jerrybreen.blogspot.com . Yours in Jasper, Jerry Breen ’71

CARTOON: Obamaman is hiding his secret identity!

caric obamaman sf

John: Here’s my latest cartoon, which I predict will explode all over the blogosphere! It’s a follow-up to my most popular political cartoon, “Obama Been Lyin’ “. In that one, published way back in July 2007, I wondered why Obama was so evasive and misleading about his childhood in Indonesia. Here’s the answer – Obamaman is hiding his secret identity!
Thanks again for all your help, Jerry
