I wanted to have a large poster (34x46) to put out my dorm room window, unfortunately Shepard Fairey and the Obama campaign have discontinued sale of the famous "Progress" and "Hope" posters.
I think that Shepard Fairey's original art is an excellent way to inspire action and ergo get out the vote. So, I decided to make my own version of the iconic poster, with a little of Shepard Fairey's blessing (in the form of posting a pdf of the b+w image to his website) I set off to create my own version of the poster.*
(Click above to download the high resolution version, as well as a version with a white background for people who want to save on ink. .pdf and .ai version are available through email)
Please print this and post it where you see fit, so that we can remind and encourage people to vote!
* Again, my work is highly derivative of Shepard Fairey's and as per his request: "
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." (I might be only borderline legal here, but with a week before the election I don't really have time to wait for a permission from Shepard Fairey, and don't believe he would mind this use anyway.)
