The Right Message. The Right Messenger.

I know, I know, young women should be online moa­ning about how their boy­friend chea­ted on them, worr­ying about their “too fat” size 34 hips, tal­king about their clothing, the new Prada bag their room­mate borro­wed and soi­led, or how life just isn’t fair. Somehow that never did it for me even at age 12, so if this bores you move along.

Shepard Fairey Screen Print

This splen­did Frank She­pard Fai­rey screen-print, found thanks to Indi­vi­dual at Home. Sadly, it’s already sold out, but it’s worth a look, as is the post which comes with it at Obey Giant.

The pos­ters sold out to the point they actually have to pro­vide refunds to some peo­ple, so yay Obama. There is a down­loa­da­ble black and white ver­sion of the pos­ter made avai­la­ble here, or from the Obey Giant Site

If you fail to go to the site, and you should go to the site it is awe­some, the follo­wing gui­de­li­nes from Obey Giant apply.

If you are still inte­res­ted in hel­ping get the word out we have made a Down­loa­da­ble Ver­sion of the OBAMA pas­ter so you can print out your own pas­ter to put on the streets. To down­load the image please right click here and save it to your com­pu­ter. This down­loa­da­ble image is not to be used for merchan­dise or any other pro­fi­ta­ble means and it is a copy­righ­ted image of She­pard Fai­rey and OBEY GIANT ART. Make sure you hit the streets before Feb 5th!

This Marvy video thanks to Mar­va­lus One at Opi­nio­na­ted Black Woman

Let’s not kid our­sel­ves, it is not only the mes­sage we choose, it is the mes­sen­ger. We can get both right.

Peace

  • I’m coming around to Obama, may have to get one of them there
    signs you have on the side.

    Great screen­print, too bad it’s gone.

    Sorry about your dos heart attack. I don’t think free word­press blogs are sub­ject to such mali­cious acts.

    I don’t make many ene­mies on line any­way. I’m rather chill, unless you con­si­der the dude I had an argu­ment I had with some dude about Bam­boo not being the most eco-friendly of woods long term.

    One more thing, I love this com­ment edit thing.

    You are good either way, but so much bet­ter with your bitch on.

  • So, the Repu­bli­can Party in Cali­for­nia is refu­sing to let inde­pen­dents vote in their pri­mary which might very well mean your Dawg casts his ballot Tues­day for one Barack Hus­sein Obama.

  • Good Stuff Cooper,The Print and the You Tube Video, they have it on his site now. I’m fresh off a Tiger Woods win in Dubai and hea­ding to a Super Bowl evening.

    I have already deci­ded a change is what we need, and as soon as I can figure out how to get that Obama sign on my site it goes up.

  • What spell have you wove? Get­ting the Dawg to vote for Obama?

    I wish you lived in New York. I fear that many peo­ple will vote for Hillary for­get­ting that she never repre­sen­ted the inte­rests of downs­tate New York. Yes I harp on that – as it’s true.

    Once more Frank Rich gets so many things rigth. Feel like his big­gest shill

  • oh right – re that first para­graph. I like you because you don’t care about those things

    Somehow I feel that next year many peo­ple won’t be able to afford desig­ner bags so the spill will be a non issue

    this year will be our tulip eco­nomy year. Whoe­ver beco­mes pre­si­dent will inhe­rit the big­gest mess of my lifetime

    I hope it’s Obama as I know he’s fac­to­red that in – the others all believe in magi­cal thinking

  • The pos­si­bi­lity of change feels good :)

  • Never unders­tood why you didn’t talk about your boy­friends more often. ;)

    Good sta­te­ment, and that screen print wold be nice to have in a t-shirt.

    Whoe­ver pro­du­ced that piece of work , the video, knows there job, it is spine tingling.

    OT: If you still lived in NY you’d be part­ying tonight.

  • G Coop I can be so slow some­ti­mes… thanks a lot for the kind follow-up. I also thought the pos­ter is awe­some and the mes­sage is right and well focu­sed. BTW, I am just a “far away” Israeli but from where I stand it looks like if elec­tions were made online Obama would have been the next pre­si­dent of the Uni­ted Sta­tes… could it be..??!

  • That is an awe­some pos­ter. I was not sure about the whole Oprah endor­se­ment act, but I think Obama is the man.

  • Peo­ple, not blog­gers, have been emai­ling me the down­loa­da­ble Obama poster

    Yes­ter­day my friend and I ran into a huge Hil-a-ray demons­tra­tion. My throat still hurts from our two per­son O-b-a-ma coun­ter demonstration

    Was told that down­town was filled with Obama sup­por­ters. Hope so. Have lost faith in just about everything
