Shepard Fairey’s VOTE- 01.28.08
It’s that time of year, politics are inescapable, and while we’re not here to dish out opinions on that matter, i will say that Obama has certainly done the most to appeal to the creative community… we’ve shown you his LA button/sticker/t campaign, his logo variations for every group, and his social network… and now, Shepard Fairey has created some posters showing not only how much he backs Obama, but also just generally putting the call to action out there to VOTE! Posters will be available for order on weds Jan 30th at $50 each, and proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign. The site also says, “Anyone interested in helping out please email info@obeygiant.com with OBAMA as the Subject Title for instructions.” See more images of the posters after the jump!
After researching some of his work I am utterly disgusted that people in the art community even support him. Artist create, thieves, pirates, and politicians steal. Let’s hope with Barack Obama that he truly stands for change.
Read this, research more of his work on your own, and form your own opinion.
PS Same article as Ryan.
