“…I do want to point out that this is not the first time photographs (and other artworks) have been the raw material for graphic works. In fact, the already murky area called “fair use,” which Fairey’s lawyers are invoking, has been applied before. [Here] are a few that have passed that very test. (Che by Alberto Korda and Paul Davis; Nixon official photo and Andy Warhol; Mao official portrait and Andy Warhol; News photo of Sacco and Vanzetti and Ben Shahn; Michelangelo’s Isaiah and Norman Rockwell’s Rosie the Riveter.)”

I love the individual touch…..

A day that will live in infamy for our nation sits only 10 days away. This day is the inauguration for Barack Obama where he will be sworn into oath as the 44th president and the first black president ever on Capitol Hill. In order to commemorate this extremely significant occasion artist Shepard Fairey took the time to also get involved in this special time in American history by creating the Official Inaugural Poster for Barack Obama.

For Obama’s big day on Jan. 20 on the steps of the Capitol, designers mostly see him in updated yet classic sartorial style. With his lanky 6-foot, 2-inch frame, basketball-toned physique and sophisticated elan, Barack Obama has all the makings of a presidential style icon. See some of the designs by WWD.

It is incredible how iconic the Shepard Fairey Obama artwork has become in recent months, before the election and of course after the election even more. Recently the artwork was chosen as the front cover of Times magazine, which is without a doubt a very big move from the artist and an honor.

The artwork of course also came in the form of a t-shirt from Shepard Fairey’s Obey brand and now that the election has been won, the “Obama Yes We Did” t-shirt has been released.

The Obey “Obama Yes We Did” T-shirt is now available HERE!
