Obey Obama

Shepard Fairey’s latest work was made in support of Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. This is what Shepard had to say about the piece:
I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for healthcare reform. Check him out for yourself www.barackobama.com. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign.
Thanks.
-Shepard
There was a total of 360 prints made measuring 24 x 36. They will go on sale this Wednesday. If you’re interested, drop a line to info@obeygiant.com.

Kiks Tyo x Solebox

Visitors to the Solebox website are greeted by the ever attractive Aki Hoshino sporting a purple bikini holding two pairs of the Solebox x New Balance 1500 ‘Purple Devils’. It looks like a collaboration between Kiks Tyo and Solebox is right around the corner. We’re guessing a tee featuring the photo above.
