Art: Obey/Obama CHANGE Poster Available

If you were unfortunate enough to miss out on the last two rounds of Shepard Fairey's limited edition Obama print releases (Hope & Progress) then dry those crying eyes!  Shepard has just released an edition of 5000 Change prints shown here.  

These posters are being offered for a $70 campaign donation and can be purchased directly  through  BarackObama.com.

Owning a piece of history is RAD!

Art : Apology Accepted!

From ObeyGiant.com...

Apologizes...

First of all we would like to apologize for the delayed release of the Obama Offset last week. Due to the EXTREME amount of volume to our website and webstore our hosting server crashed. We thought we were sufficiently prepared for the release, with upgrades and release times, but to our surprise an exponential amount of buyers came and continued to stay and attempt to access our site which denied even our web administrators access to the site to upload the print. Essentially, we (just as you) waited until traffic died down enough for us to upload the artwork and release the print. The Obama offset was released and SOLD OUT on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, we do not have anymore to sell and are not taking any special requests for the prints. We are receiving 100’s of emails regarding the print, its release, and availability, so please do not email us unless your inquiry is unrelated. Once again we apologize for the delay and thanks to all that supported our efforts.

Art: Got it!!!

Attempting to purchase a Shepard Fairey print these days is like going to battle. It's become next-to-impossible for legit collectors, such as myself, to buy his prints due to a combination of the crappy Obey Giant purchasing system/website and the influx of all of those capitalizing lame asses who purchase his work only to turn around and sell it to OTHER lame asses through eBay at super inflated prices.  

Shepard please take note from the Burning Man Org who (dare I say) perfected the ordering process a couple of years ago when they started using a system which put ticket buyers in queue like a lottery system.  There is no more having to refresh pages because the server has timed out and MOST IMPORTANTLY there are no pages timing out during the final confirmation stage of the purchasing process!  Yes, which happened to me this evening during my FIRST attempt at buying the Obama Hope print.  Fortunately I got through on my second attempt...double w00t!

Seriously stoked!

Oh and if you're interested in purchasing this Barack offset you better hurry...no doubt it'll sell out very shortly.  The print can be found here.

Did you know that Street Posters and Sticker Art carry lesser legal ramifications than other paint-based Graff art forms?

Yep, I'm an educator!
