This is for a Political "Positive Politics" Campaign Tee Shirt contest. Even if I wasn't conservative I probably would have chosen McCain because there are a zillion Oboma tee designs out there. Anyway, I was inspired by McCain's service to my Country by serving in the US Navy. This was the perfect opportunity to use my inspiration of traditional tattoo art, evoke the name of Sailor Jerry and try to bang out an old school tattoo design. I really appreciate this era of tattoo design, because back then it was ok to be proud of our Armed Services and you could still be a patriot. <div style="color:red">***UPDATED***</div> I'm proud to announce that I actually won this contest! 16 7870 375 Country First 4725 2 2009-11-08T06:14:39-05:00 961 http://cache1.emptees.com/images/31125/mcCainEmpteesMockup.jpg http://emptees.com/tees/7870-country-first/buy i hope this wins/i hope he wins 7870 Tee 2008-09-05T12:50:50-04:00 186841 269 2008-09-05T12:50:50-04:00 I like the design. I'm a bit confused about this though: "because back then it was ok to be proud of our Armed Services and you could still be a patriot." 7870 Tee 2008-09-05T12:53:40-04:00 186844 1027 2008-09-05T12:53:40-04:00 Thanks guys! Kevin, I'm saying back in the 40's WWII era, when the Americana tattoo design was popular people were genuinely proud of their country and they were not looked down on for it. A lot of the designs that the sailors got tattooed were patriotically inspired. Things just seem to be different today. 7870 Tee 2008-09-05T13:10:39-04:00 186863 4725 2008-09-05T13:10:39-04:00 <blockquote><cite>dcastle8183 said:</cite> Thanks guys!
