Artist unknown

In putting together my Sunday essay, Occupy poster art joins lineage of resistance messages, I came across many examples that I just didn't have space for in an already-long piece heavy with images.

So, this post will aggregate only images from the Occupy protests, not historical ones of the sort I included Sunday. I repeated some and added a bunch of others that commenters added or pointed to. If you demand text, click on the link above and I think you will be sated with my long analysis of protest posters of the past 175 years. As noted Sunday, most of the Occupy posters are unsigned and the artists are unknown to me. But, if you know (for sure) who the artist for a particular poster is, let me know so I can give her or him credit.

If you'd like to read more about political poster art, you can find some good material at Social Design Notes, Design History and Art for a Change. If you're in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend a trip to the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. They have an open house scheduled for Dec. 3.
