Obey!

Latest Time Magazine Cover by Shepard Fairey

This is also a great moment for us Illustrators, Graphic Designers, and artists in general. Why you ask? Well simply because the amazingly talented Shepard Fairey has made art and US history with his Obama posters. Recently his famous "Hope" poster was acquired by the US National Portrait Gallery, and became part of the permanent collection. It was unveiled and put on display at the Gallery three days ago(January 17, 2009).

Here are some great videos including an interview of Shepard on the Colbert Report.


Enjoy and get inspired!

yeah, i was actually really excited to see shepard on the colbert report! it means that somehow the culture is interested in art and even artists enough to put them in the spotlight. just a matter of time before one/all of us are in that chair!
