Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by Gentle Mental on Jun 7, 2008 18:41:23 GMT 1,
It's turning from a piece of street art to a piece of history...
granted, not a great image, but i don't think there's any work in recent times that actually played a part in changing the world as we know it...
(Santa's Ghetto was cool, but it was still very much an "in" crowd event...)
Could very well be the print of year, IMHO.

Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by Gentle Mental on Jun 8, 2008 1:32:54 GMT 1, Flip of the year - $45 - to 3k in 4 months - something even rude copper can't achieve.
All i'm saying is, by taking a strong stand, and making a difference (getting the kids out and vote) Fairey is doing street art as a scene proud.
long live the shep!

Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by mcnuts on Jun 8, 2008 11:05:54 GMT 1, yup flip of the year hands down. form 35 GBP to 750 GBP in the span of 48hrs. Now up to 1500GBP in 3 months mad.
As for the image, must agree with gentle. Sure it may not be his best work and i'd never have the image of a US president up on his wall but without a doubt it is SHep's most famous imageoutside of this scene and, as a result will become one of his most notorious/famous images.

Define flipping? The large version came out on 30th January. If 4 months is flipping then at least 70% of people on here are flippers.
I have the large and the small versions of this and have no plans to sell them. The irony is that if Obama is elected President and turns out to be just like the rest, which is a distinct possibility, then the Progress message will become a bit of a joke.
The funny thing is that the large print was available for several hours that morning so there was plenty opportunity for people to pick them up.

Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by Danny O'Connor on Jun 8, 2008 13:08:05 GMT 1, Although I agree that this isn't the best of images you have to say that this is gonna be a piece of history. Especially if he becomes Americas first black President. This picture will probably be in text books in years to come and I can see it being as iconic as something like the Uncle Sam Your Country Needs You posters.
I'm suspecting a lot of parodies of this piece in the next few years. Thought I'd get mine in earl 
screen print available soon, pre orders welcome......OK only joking ;D

The same could be said about Greenpeace or anti-war banksy's.
I think that the artist got a bit pissed off when the pasters which he was doing really cheap (5 for $15 or something wasn't it?) so people could decorate their cities started getting sold on eBay for a couple of hundred each. Now that I can understand is contrary to the message.
I'm not sure that I agree with you about the limited edition prints though but maybe that's just because I own a couple of them.

This would not make my top 20 so far of 2008 and nor would any of the other crap Shep has pumped out. IMHO it's nothing more than political propaganda, bordering on abuse of Sheps popularity. Mind you I think the latter of all this years Shep releases.
Donaldo, I'm pretty certain that from $40 to over $1000 in a weekend constitutes a hell of a flip!

How long 'til an independent Scotland, Wales and Norn Irn? I'll wager that England will have a black leader sometime after that happens.

I know you all take great offense to this but I'll say it anyway. ;D You're all from some island that we call England.  ....So, it should happen pretty soon, yes?

by the looks of it, all art with a political objective, clearly and well stated, tend to feel like advertising. cuz it wants you to do something.
Fairey wanted something done, a less obvious piece (like the current crop of obama pieces, though nice,) wouldn't have achieved what was needed then.
