This one is getting a ton of press already, but these are just too cool to ignore. Famed guerrilla-visual-propagandist Shepherd “Obey Giant” Fairey, a favorite among street artists and design heads, has created a handful of posters for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The prints feature the candidate, and are very recognizably fashioned in Fairey’s signature style. The Creative Review’s blog reportedly reached out to the Obama campaign only to find out that the poster was not officially commissioned but done wholly on Fairey’s incentive.

Fairey issued the following statement on his website in regard to his support for Obama:

“I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for health care reform.”

He then goes on to suggest checking out the candidate’s website:

“This, an homage to the Democratic candidate coming from an icon of youth culture, serves as anecdotal evidence representative of what statistical returns from the primaries continue to prove: Barack Obama is a clear favorite among a youth that feels out of touch with the status quo and is hungry and desperate for a new kind of candidate.”
