Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by artstylee on Feb 6, 2008 16:00:29 GMT 1, Profiting from doing a political poster is shady, Riding hype, Obey should break even then donate the rest to a good cause.
Where's the Hillary poster at?
Groundhog day is coming up you can stencil that too.
LA Lakers NBA team just got Pao Gasol. Where's the Pao Gasol poster print Obey.

Let's see something not so obvious, go the extra mile, give us something special and take it to the next level. Success makes it so you're not hungy anymore. And that's the case with this Obey stuff. No hunger, no soul.

Obama supporters, since funds go to producing prints for a large statewide poster campaign. Lots of people would probably just buy it in support but not frame them.

despite your take on it, it's a historic print imho done by one of the most well known street artists as part of a true grassroots populist street campaign. obama himself (even though he wont win - yes i will eat my hat) is a historic figure both for the way he has manage to reinvigorate people, getting them involved in politics as well as given the fact he's the first african american candidate to make a real run for the democratic leadership (jackson and sharpton never had a shot). So imho and not even as an american (as i am not) the poster captures an intersection between culture and politics. i could be more articulate but really have 400pages of text to read through by tomorrow on indexes of media freedom. yawn.

It's a very big 'If' at this point. Clinton is still very much the front runner. I think that he's got a better chance against McCain than Clinton does though.
However, I do think that he will have to have a pretty strong security team in place. He had to have protection put in place very early in his campaign due to 'threats' against him.

A genre/audience transcending masterpiece?
A tacky piece of political memorabilia?
A piece of history?
A flipper's wet dream?
how "important" is this print anyway?
It's on the verge of turning me into a flipper... looking at $$$$ it's fetching!
;D ;D ;D ;D

Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by Heavyconsumer on Feb 22, 2008 6:56:21 GMT 1, Holden hits the nail on the head imo. The only possible mitigator could be that Tony hardly broke any historical/traditional barriers down by getting in. It was the usual case of "this is crap, let's try the new guy". Is there then the possibilty that (and I'm not sure how to put this too sensitively) Obama's "race card" could make this piece a future colector's item?
I still revert to Holden's post. This guy is not an equal rights campaigner of the 50s or 60s, he's a modern day politician. I wouldn't want his mug on my wall in several years from now, even if I did like the print, which I don't.

and it still holds true.
It just so happens that the new guy is black or maybe not even a guy!
Maggie broke that old boys club (ironically by being a bigger boy) but wouldnt want a picture of her either....unless she was topless

i think the reason why this is so expensive now on the bay is different from why say a GWB is so expensive... it's not quite "art" anymore.
