Artist Shepard Fairey Debuts Obama Inauguration Artwork
Shepard Fairey, the amazing graphic artist who brought us this iconic image of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama …
… has created a new piece of Obama artwork to commemorate Inauguration Day next week, behold:
A Limited Edition, signed and numbered version of this poster can be purchased online HERE for $500, while a numbered unsigned version can be purchased online HERE for $100. OR, you can donate $20 HERE and get your hands on one of these one-of-a-kind posters (if you donate $35, you’ll get two posters):
To celebrate this historic inauguration, graphic artist Shepard Fairey has created another unforgettable poster. Make a donation of $20 or more to get your limited edition inauguration poster. Or, make any donation of $35 or more and receive two posters — one to keep and one for a friend. We’re organizing the most open and accessible inauguration in our nation’s history. Your support will be crucial to making that possible, as we’re not accepting donations from PACs, federally registered lobbyists, or corporations.
I understand that proceeds from the sale of these posters and THESE other Fairey Obama products will go towards paying for various Inauguration festivities in Washington DC next week. I know that the original Hope poster sold out very quickly and is very difficult to find as a result … this is your chance to get in on the ground floor and snag one of these posters while you still can.

What is everyone planning on doing for the inauguration? I had intially planned on going to a party, but I’m going to be traveling until late the night prior, so I will prob only muster the energy to watch if with my bf at home. Such a great excuse to party though! I saw a suggestion somewhere to have a party and hold a contest on how many times Obama will say “change” in his speech…I thought that was a good suggestion :)

Since I make more than $250K a year, I will be working so I can pay for the poor people’s entitlement programs that our new leader wants to implement.
