When you combine a political transition with a self-made self-promotion it is likely that the end result will be a morphing product. One that is adjusted as the ink touches paper, as the news blasts in the background and as experimentation happens. With this poster, Trevor Basset adjusted colors, removed masks and played with textured paper imprints as he produced the series.

Being lucky enough to score one of these prints, I was even more impressed with it when it showed up.
The heavy stock just soaked-up the color, which pops much more in person. The Frank Miller Dark Knight Returns, Bat-footsoldier detail worked for me; reminding me that we are dealing with a promising, yet complicated human being, not a other-worldly "Superman". Thanks Trevor. I look forward to your future work.

Great piece! Reminds me of how much this site needs a "Buy it Now!" option!:)
