None that I see. The signed lithos are moving slightly slower than expected.

Amplifier is a design lab that builds art to amplify the voices of grassroots movements.

Uhhh. Guys? Did the person that writes your press releases get fired? That's still the #1 way to disseminate information. :roll:

Virtually zero coverage on the net about this campaign. Someone screwed up.

Law is the one I would pick but I am a bit surprised the others only have 6 gone.

That's really the only one that has much artistic merit. The Karate Kid and Tracy Chapman ones just look like portraits with a quick posterize filter.

The Winter BreeAnne image is the bigger miss for me because of the fist. The angle of the arm is unnatural IMO. I think in the source photo that hand is on her chin.

Hand aside (lol), Winter's face has the best look imo. Amanda's eyebrows have that odd outline shadow, but it's the only one I like as a whole... must be the architecture. A better source photo for Taboo coulda been chosen.

I agree about the unnatural arm angle-I noticed it yesterday and tried to hold my hand/arm in front of me like in the poster-

Couldn't do it-to get the arm to be that vertical it needs to be outside the shoulder-

Just my two cents-

So they cut off the arm in the top image and photoshopped it into the bottom. Either of the images above would have worked better.
