Free Shepard Fairey Obama Victory Stickers

Friday, November 7, 2008

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 [...]

There were only three hundred of these [...]

Last weekend I was lucky enough to squeeze myself through the hipster masses and check out the new Shepard Fairey (of Obey fame) show happening at the Shooting Gallery & White Walls in San Francisco. There was a very good reason why the kids were lined up around the block. The show was f*cking brilliant! Even [...]

Shepard Fairey has dropped three new lithographs/art prints this week and man are they killer, literally. Left to right: Fictional serial-killer Dexter Morgan, future president Barack Obama and accused rapist/basketball icon Kobe Bryant.

Yeah, with these novels, you can totally judge the book by it’s cover. Obey master Shepard Fairey takes on the classics with his jaw dropping cover artwork for the new reissues of George Orwell’s masterpieces Animal Farm and 1984 for Penguin Books. From street artist to respected book cover collaborator, color me impressed. So [...]

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 [...]
