about

“Jawn” is a slang word originating in Philadelphia, Pa that is used in casual conversation to refer to any person, place, or especially a thing. While quality is not inherently defined, “Jawn” is most often used to refer to something positively.     

This website began with a t-shirt made to show support for Barack Obama with a design based on the “Jawn” shirts from the creative forces at squarebiz.org.

We proudly bring you obamajawn.com, a place where you can purchase your own “obamajawn” t-shirt. And because we decided that the unprecedented movement of artists and designers was worth making note of, we started a weblog dedicated to chronicling the convergence of politics, art and design in the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama.
