ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Did you notice that during the last couple months of the presidential campaign that Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obama Hope was everywhere? On posters, on stickers, on T-shirts on buttons and I’m sure tattooed on someone’s bicep. It’s amazing how prevalent Fairey’s stunning work has become in popular culture. A segment about his piece was even done by Katie Couric for the CBS News.

But if you are having Obama campaign withdrawal with your “hope” poster now having a new meaning of “done,” you can get Fairey’s updated Obama imagery. One of the pieces is the Yes We Did image (below) with the mantra “United We Progress Toward a More Perfect Union,” which you can get for the low low price of free in sticker form (for a donation, so almost free). A donation of $3 or more buys five stickers and a $20-plus donation buys 50. Click here to order and watch the ticker showing more stickers ordered every second.

There is also a series of 5,000 limited edition 24″x 36″ prints signed by Shepard, which are offset printed on French Paper Company’s Cream Speckletone stock under the artist’s supervision. Each print is numbered by hand, 1 through 5000. The first 1000 in the series are signed by Shepard Fairey. These will be available to those who donate $500 or more, while supplies last. The unsigned prints will be available to those who donate $80 or more, plus an additional $10 donation to cover shipping, while supplies last, beginning Saturday November 8th at 12:30PM EST here.

The stunning and optimistic red white and blue Victory poster (above) is one Shepard did for MoveOn.org, which will be out soon.
