Help, Big Bird, You’re Our Only Hope

Artist Jim Lennox and his wife Hilary Ross wave while standing next to the 100-foot by 80-foot field painting of Big Bird, a parody of the Barack Obama Hope poster, outside their rural Shickshinny, Pa. home. Lennox designed and laid out a grid of the image. Last week, he and Hilary then invited friends over for a painting party, using environmentally safe paint. Four years ago they created a large image of then-candidate Obama in the same field. (AP Photo/Bloomsburg Press Enterprise, Bill Hughes)
