In an effort to help turn our country around and celebrate the awesomeness of the Bagman. I submit for you Bagman – Make It Work. Thanks to Annie Belle’s poster for the inspiration on Brian Short’s assignment and his poster as well.

Bagman is in good company with this one. I have this FDR t-shirt which is actually a quote from one of his fireside chats, not a campaign slogan. It’s what I’d like to repeat to most politicians if I were to meet them. Actually I’d probably out of frustration, change it to, “make it work, dammit!”

This was made using a favorite technique of mine which involves using Illustrator’s LiveTrace tool to vectorize bitmapped images. I made a tutorial last summer on how to do this using Dr. Oblivion as the example.

For resources, I used one of Brian’s Bagmen, and a T-shirt image which I lightened to match the FDR t-shirt’s gray, as well as a little rubber stamping to remove the original logo.
