  <description>Accepted design for the awesome folks over at www.thrivingink.com. Part of their Thriving Ink for Change campaign. You can pre-order now by emailing Brenda at brendad@thrivingink.com 

I have a vector option and a more textured version for them to choose from. 

EDIT: They asked for a white version but I realized the original artwork only works on black. So I redid the face for a lighter/white background. Option is below. ZOMBIE OBAMA!!

Thanks man! Not sure yet they haven't seen the textured version but approved the vector version. =) 

Don't know what placement they'll be using too.</body>

Hey man.. convert the file to greyscale, then to bitmap. Choose an output of at least 300 dpi, then use the "halftone screen" option and then just play around with the options. Some of the stuff i used are gomedia i think.</body>
