In Rememberance of a King

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Obama Commerative Plates by Shephard

Shephard Fairey really hit the big time when his Obama print was picked up by the Obama Presidential Campaign that I discussed in last year in this post.




Having subsequently designed the official Inaugural Poster for Obama, he looks well positioned to become the go-to guy for reshaping how we visualize the White House, even with their awesome face lift they had.

Shephard Fairey has now got into the presidential souvenir pool with a set of commemorative plates (above).

Produced in a limited edition of 500 each, the plates feature Obama's visage at center with a border of slogans culled from last year's campaign. The plates can be purchased individually for $89, or as a set of two (one of each color) for $178, from The Future Perfect

Shephard was even asked to do a Martin Luther King Jr. image for Google to honor Martin Luther King day.

Let Freedom Reign

Happy Martin Luther King day.
