Shepard Fairey Obey Vote
My mother always told me as a child there are three things you never discuss with other people. Religion, age and politics. Well, times are changing, as you have to talk about politics now days. Especially if you are an American. You have to encourage people to vote, especially young people like us. We have to be aware and informed, because we can not trust the old guard. Look what happened last time.

So it is with some excitement that I see our friend Shepard Fairey has created some 'propaganda' posters supporting Obama and his campaign to be the next American president. I couldn't think of a better artist to promote what feels like an underground movement of change.
