I bet Fairey's had a tough year in this economy.

beeeeeeeeeeewup!

you see the $ in the background, don't you? that's shepard's way of saying, take your stimulus and shove it.

[MooreSaxPlease]

WOW! Thats all kinds of amazing!
I understand the fact that it is Obama, but to use Shepards picture is such a final cash in.. .OBEY has got to be wetting their pants right now!!

And yes, I know that it was Sheps iconic Progress & Hope prints that first stimulated the younger majority, but damn.. . I never would have thought that they would have used the print for the cover picture.

Glad I got my Hope print :D

Not sure if this link will work but its a video from Time Magazine where they interview Shep about creating the poster 4:17 min long - its neat-o.

Tomorrow my illustration for Time Magazine’s “Person of The Year” hits the newsstands. While I’m very honored to be validated by a periodical that is nothing short of an American institution, the moment is bittersweet because I’m very disappointed by Obama’s appointment of Rick Warren to deliver his invocation during Obama’s inaugural address. Rick Warren is against gay marriage and reproductive rights, and he does not believe in evolution (maybe he offers himself as proof of lack of evolution). I understand that Obama is trying to appeal to conservatives and evangelicals, but this move is symbolically a slap in the face to many people. Warren is not a uniter, but a divider… he is intolerant in many of his views. I still think Obama is the best choice for president, but I can’t condone Warren’s involvement in Obama’s inauguration, no matter how insignificant it is. While I’m on the subject of gay marriage, I will be donating a chunk of the proceeds from an inauguration poster of Obama I was asked to create to the movement to overturn Prop 8. At first I was considering pulling my inauguration poster, but I think re-directing funds from it to put into a cause I care about is actually more constructive. Plus, I wouldn’t want withdrawing the image to come across as a blanket boycott of Obama. I’m sure I will ultimately disagree with Obama about many things, but I think I will agree with him on more. I think it is important to speak one’s mind, but also to not let the narcissism of petty differences sabotage our unity and progress.
