Shepard Fairey has released the poster series through his company, <A target="_blank" href="http://obeygiant.com/">Obey Giant</A>. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><P>The posters measure 24 inches X 36 inches, and were originally released in an edition of 350. At only $45 a poster from <A target="_blank" href="http://www.obeygiant.com/store/">the Obey store</A>, they sold out instantly. A similar short run seems to be in the works.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/E4DBBDEF-D7DC-4933-8825-CF28BED6E4DC" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-2.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/">There is a long tradition of politics, illustration, and graphic design. Whether in the constructivist work of the 1920s or posters promoting war bonds in the states, the political poster has been the domain of the designer. Even Fairey’s original Obey poster seems to take cues from depictions of Che Guevara. Ironically, much of Shepard Fairey’s work put non-political work in a political context. This series essentially rejoins political style and message. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/1D5AF954-954D-4E5B-A6D3-DDCCAEB9B31A" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-3.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/76AC5192-2BFD-43F3-AC0E-02D1B8A33B57" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-4.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/CA934347-0ABE-4C15-B572-CA0FE884940D" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-5.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/A6BAE45A-1E0D-4EA8-A958-999DA6BDB05C" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-6.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.neublack.com/art-design/featured-project-barack-obama-series-by-shepard-fairey/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.neublack.com/img/83B46AF1-7117-4EB0-8E69-06FFEF88CC29" alt="shepard-fairey-barack-obama-7.jpg" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/21F15393-8FC8-47CE-9C71-01491F02110C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
