Obama by Shepard Fairey (Obey)



Next Wednesday (Janurary 30th) Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant fame is set to release his latest screenprint- as with the "Vote" piece which came out last week, the print is larger than usual at 24" x 36" with prices coming in at $50. Edition size is 350 and, as usual, the piece is bound to sell out pretty quickly. The time in which the print will drop is unknown to prevent the site from being flooded. From the ObeyGiant site...

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. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign.
Thanks.
-Shepard
