# Illustrated Presidential Obsessions Fosta Captures All of Barack Obama's Favorite Things By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-01-15 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fosta-barack-obama References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2009/01/14/obamas-obsessions-il.html) & [hellofosta](http://www.hellofosta.com/) This [illustrated tableau](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations) by Fosta, also known as Nick Foster, honors the interests and hobbies of President-elect Barack Obama. Some inclusions are fairly straightforward, like deep-dish pizza from Hyde Park, Chicago and a draft of ‘[Dreams From My Father](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks).’ Others are silly, like the ‘100 Dance Moves’ book with a Post-It note that says, “Read before Ellen.” There’s a comprehensive [to-do list](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colortodo) with charts, graphs and maps of Iraq, oil and finance. There’s also a clipboard with a list of nice things for Obama to say to George [presumably Bush]. FYI: The list is blank. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Illustrated Tableau:** Opportunity for digital artists to create personalized, visually engaging artworks for individuals or organizations. - **Personalized Tribute:** Potential for customized artworks that celebrate the interests and hobbies of public figures, creating unique gifts or collectibles. - **Nostalgic Representation:** Growing demand for art or illustrations that evoke nostalgia and pay tribute to past or current cultural icons. ### Who This Affects Most - **Digital Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in digital art platforms, enabling artists to reach a wider audience and offer personalized artworks. - **Gifts and Collectibles:** Innovative opportunities to create customized gifts and collectibles that cater to the interests and hobbies of individuals or public figures. - **Pop Culture Art:** Rise in demand for art that embraces popular culture, allowing artists to create nostalgic representations of cultural icons and moments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food Appreciation Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-thing-ny-heart.md) - [Presidential Campus Athletic Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-court-2.md) - [Pizza-Themed Gift Catalogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2021-holiday-wish-list.md) - [Pet-Friendly Presidential Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presidents-day-packages.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Nostalgic Art-Inspired Postal Stamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usps-stamp.md) - [Celebratory Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions.md) - [Multisensory French Fry Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-happy-frydays-cafe.md) - [Whimsical Soccer-Themed Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations.md)
