buttons are still really sharp!

So...anyone who talked to me in between approximately January 2007 and August 2008 has probably heard me talk about buttons and how much I like them. Well, at one point along there, my button co-conspirator, Noah and I, put together a button show with buttons made by us and by many other friends. The idea was a radical social history through buttons - buttons that should have been made for a variety of (mostly) American social movements. Noah and I can both talk very seriously about raising the level of artistry of political buttons, but that's probably kind of annoying to listen to, so instead, here are our buttons, finally in photographs:

A huge number of people actually made these (unfortunately I don't remember who in most cases), so the credit should be widely dispersed.
