another poster, A3 size.
I will definatly print this at school, if I keep it up with all the posters I wont have much space left on the walls.

Vectorizing Che's face took me a while, but it was worth it :) (Smile)

great vector work

I think Che's a great revolutionary and all but seriously, there is just way too much exposure on this guy...I'm all for his beliefs and his ideals but his face is just everywhere now...it's nothing against YOUR work, or anyone else's Che Guevara artwork, because art is fine, as long as it truly IS artistic, but when you see his face on Target t-shirts and MTV commercials and Jay-Z wearing a shirt it's just gone way too far...the guy stood for anti-capitalist beliefs yet people are makin money off of his image...I hate that...and I'm a Jay-Z fan too but Jay-Z is up to his ASS in Capitalism...he owns his own clothign line and he jsut lives so lavishly with this money...where the fuck does he get the balls to wear a Che Guevara t-shirt? and why does Target sell Che t-shirts? and like 2 days ago I saw this MTV Summer ad thing with a whole wallpaper of Che Guevara faces rotating and changing colors...like he's a fucking pop icon or logo...I mean sure, he's turned into one NOW, but atleast let the guy's message be spread around, not just his image

sorry for rambling, this really has nothing to do with YOUR work, I liked it, but there's just way too much Che

:iconcomradepremierme:
Awesome work!

As to markmizzle's comment: America is trying to turn Che into a pop icon so people think "hey there is that cool guy I saw on MTV" instead of "hey there is a man who stood for what is right and truly was/is an influential revolutionary" They are killing Che the only way they can: with the ignorance of America's pop-centered youth, hypocritical teeny-boppers, and all-around capitalism.

Great art, though Che lead me from Communism to Anarchism. The debate this work spawned is just great...
There are a couple of interesting ways that Che as a pop-icon can be taken. One is to see it and say, "well, this means we're winning." Maybe if people see his image enough they'll stop and ask, "what did that guy really stand for anyway." The other way is to say that Che is slowly being killed... If you can beat it, sell it.
The way they ulitmately beat the hippies was to sell hippie stuff. Winston Smith had a great perspective on this when he said something along the lines of, "Flower power was so pretty it was coopted by Klenex, so we made Punk so ugly no one would want to touch it." But yet, punk is becoming a mainstream thing.
Every time we reject their culture, they come running to us to buy it up as quickly as they can. Some have said that proves our victory, and if we can manage to solidify that by spreading our message too than our victory will be complete. If we can get Jay-Z to act like a communist than maybe we can acutally get somewhere... otherwise it may die with us.
