Derek Hess Giving Away Free Obama Poster with Purchase of His New Book

Artist Derek Hess is best known for his striking, physical cover art for numerous punk and metal albums, but lately he's started infusing politics into his pictures. His new book, Please God Save Us, features lots of disturbing drawings, paintings, and collages that lambaste right-wing hypocrisy; in case you don't get the point from the artwork alone, writer/politician/"community organizer" Kent Smith adds essays that correspond with the art's themes of religion, war, environmental exploitation, and so on. Trust me, it's rad (i.e., "radical" in all meanings of the word). As if that weren't enough, Hess is also giving away copies of his limited edition Obama poster (as seen here) with every copy of Please God Save Us sold. That is, until the supply runs out.
