“He’s a Nobel Prize winning economist. How is he not autistic?”

— my dad about president Jed Bartlet from The West Wing

[xfilesposterproject]

It's been an entire presidential election cycle since my last set of The West Wing prints debuted. With the next election right around the corner and Mary Elizabeth McCormack & Melissa Fitzgerald's new West Wing book hitting bookshelves this month, now feels like the right time to dive back into the beloved show and debut another set of retro-style posters inspired by fan-favorite episodes of the series. For this wave of prints, I've put together designs based on five episodes from seasons 2 through 4. Three of the episodes are heavily campaign focused while the remaining two episodes are personal favorites focused in-part on threading the needle between governing policies and political realities. I hope all my fellow Wingnuts enjoy this round of offerings. Check out the new designs along with additional info below. All five prints are available now via the Studio JJ shop or by simply clicking the images below. You can also find all of my The West Wing-inspired prints (there are now 21 designs in all!) and select TWW t-shirts via the shop's The West Wing section. 

Thanks!

2.17 The Stackhouse Filibuster

“Don’t ever underestimate the will of a grandfather. We’re madmen, we don’t give a damn; we got here before you and they will be here after you. We’ll make enemies, we’ll break laws, we’ll break bones, but you will not mess with the grandchildren!”

What's been your favorite Oval Office layout?

I liked President Clinton's Oval Office because I feel like the colors really popped out at you, especially with the blue carpet:

Clinton's Oval Office also kind of reminds me of the Bartlet Oval Office in The West Wing, although the Oval Office in The West Wing was always super dark for some reason. I know some readers are going to be surprised that I didn't choose LBJ because LBJ is always my answer when it comes to favorites, but the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s decorations weren't great. It is funny, however, to see the giant TVs -- one for each of the three television networks at the time -- that LBJ had in his Oval Office because he was such an information junkie (LBJ also had a teletype machine installed in the Oval Office so he could get news reports immediately):

I also really liked George W. Bush's Oval Office, but it would have been better with a bit more color. My favorite color is blue, so I would definitely have wanted to see more blue in Bush's Oval. But I do like the rug that President Bush used, which was also used by President Reagan.

For those who are interested, it looks like the awesome White House Museum website, which disappeared for a while, is now being hosted here. You can see photos of how the Oval Office was decorated for various Presidents ever since the West Wing was built.

Also, here's a great photo of a completely empty Oval Office (stripped of everything, including carpets) as it was being cleaned during the transition between Presidents on Inauguration Day:

You always know it’s going to be a good episode of the West Wing if President Bartlet, is wearing a Notre Dame sweatshirt or if we get Josh and Sam and Toby in casual clothing .

happy ides of march to everyone except the bartlet senior staff who have to listen to a two hour-long tirade on the ides of march, the myths surrounding it, politics in caesar’s day, and the shakespeare play (and yes, all of them wondered if it was worth it to stab bartlet. just to go home.)
