Shepard Fairey is another Amerikkka-hating "friend of Obama."

He is the artist who designed the official fund-raising set of Obama : Hope / Change / Progress posters, like this one:

According to the article, the posters have raised $400,000 for Obama as of June 9th.

Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints

Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."

If Obama does win in November, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy becomes his administration's "Artist Laureate." Can you imagine him as the Artistic Director for the Inauguration ceremonies?

He’ll be nominated Commissar of Culture.

he has been arrested 13 times after all: not necessarily a helpful association for a candidate

Is he kidding? For the Dems that is considered a 'Resume' Enhancer'.

Excellent post! You nailed this SOB dead on!

Here's another site with more of his communist-inspired "artwork". Absolutely incredible, but it might take some time to download, especially for dial-ups.

From the official Barack Obama website:

“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

Fairey has also hosted at least one fund-raising event for Obama:

Obama Fundraiser Photo Gallery With Z-Trip & Shepard Fairey

Local tastemakers joined together last Friday, August 1st for a Barack Obama fundraiser at The Echoplex.

Shepard Fairey aka DJ Diabetic aka the man behind the OBEY's famous "Andre The Giant Has A Posse" guerilla ad campaign, told the crowd before his set that his performance would be a conscious audio/visual set with more focus on the visuals. Z-trip closed out the night and had the same disclaimer. With both sets more focused on the message rather than just delivering booty-shaking beats, which resulted in more standing around and reflecting and less grinding on the dancefloor. Both DJ's infused political graphics and images and snippets of Obama speeches into the music.

DJ Troublemaker (Backyard Bangers) opened the night up and DJ-ed for Lady Tigra's surprise performance. His set included a crazy mix of Shai's "If I ever (Fall In Love)" and Santogold's "L.E.S. Artistes", a mix that made the event completely worth every cent.

Cover for the night was $20, and in a city that bitches about $5 valet, we heard no "WTF's" at the door. Everyone knew all the proceeds would go to the OBAMA campaign and were willing to shell out the $20 for change.
