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.
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
