Obey Obama

Sup ya'll - hope the weekend was good.

Came across this image - Shepard Fairey (the man behind the Obey Giant) has produced a print endorsing democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. I think this is the first OBEY print that doesn't have critical or negative overtones to the work. More about the print and Fairey's thoughts here.

If you are interested in Obey and Shepard Fairey here is a link to the PSFK conference he spoke at this past December. During the 45 minute video he spoke about how he takes his art and applies it commercially, exploring how he works with brands and agencies. There's some good discussion & links on the bottom of the page (with the video). Enjoy
