I made the above painting in 2008, during Obama’s first run for president — the only time I’ve ever felt idealistic over a general election. It was exhibited at the Museum of Sex. After we had our champagne, we watched the Obama McCain debate, where Joe the Plumber made his pimple-like emergence onto the national stage.
Awesome post. You continue to inspire with your voice, your pictures, and your incredible spirit.
Molly, you have the remarkable distinction of looking good in an arrest photo.
