When I heard about this earlier today, Sticker Robot still had the Obama PROGRESS stickers (designed by Shepard Fairey) for sale. The OBEY website warned there was only a limited quantity available, and that proved quickly true. However, all is not lost: mark your calendars for May 1st and point your browser here to order the Obama HOPE stickers before they sell out too.
Shepard officially endorses Obama and posted on his blog:
I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for healthcare reform. Check him out for yourself www.barackobama.com.
This is so much better than P. Diddy’s “Vote or Die” campaign, right? In an article by Jeff Beer posted on Creativity Online, Shepard goes on to say:
Even if you like my art and think it’s a cool poster, don’t vote for Barack unless you think he’s the right guy.
Word. Couldn’t have said it better. For more poster propaganda, go here.
