Shepard Fairey is a diabetic and he gives his thoughts on the state of health care in America.

Shepard's badass. I think it's cool how his Obama poster came about organically, and the campaign picked it up, instead of just paying some random artists to do it.

I had no idea who Shepard Fairey was before this Obama poster surfaced. I am sure there are many people who might say the same. This has to be one of his most successful pieces and has undoubtedly made his name familiar amongst such a large mass of people. To know that the huge profit from this poster is going directly to the campaign and not to his pocket only proves his genuine belief in Obama's mission, and passion for spreading positive change. He's awesome!

I have the HOPE sticker proudly displayed on my truck. His image of Obama will be a part of history, Not many artists can make that claim.

love obey and what the brand stands for: non brands!!
more and more are starting to see obey as time passes, but he keeps it independent and is one of the more respected artist on eartH!!

It's cool to hear him talk about music. He did the logo for Slacker.com which I love and listen to everyday!
-
How I wish I got to the Obama site in time to obtain one of these prints.
-
... And to think, Shep's original inspiration for the "OBEY" line came from the movie "THEY LIVE", starring Rowdy Roddy Piper ...
