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: Make Art Not War

I was just wandering around Westwood Village enjoying another beautiful sunny day in Soul Cal when I stumbled across this print.  It was taped to the side of a metal box which, no doubt, hides very important telephone wires and such.  

This crazy little print (about 11"X16" printed on heavy card stock) jumped right off the side of said box and into my hands!  Shocking, I know...but what could I do?!  I (oops, I mean Mr. Poster) just couldn't help himself!

I suppose Mr. Poster knew that I could guarantee him a MUCH better life hanging framed in my house than he ever would have experienced plastered on the side of a metal box in the Village!  ;)

Mad props to the artist...wish I knew who you were!

(Sorry for the crappy photo...stoopid iPhone!)

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.
