Hope: Shepard Fairey and Barack Obama

[liljuve13]

THE SEVENTH LETTER FUCK DEVIL WORSHIPPERS.

[RemoteSwitch]

This bitch got his ass whooped in Copenhagen. He was then called "Obama Illuminati" and told to "go back to America". Apparently he was there doing a pro-government propaganda mural and the locals weren't to happy about it. I wish they had broke his neck, personally.

[nitsuaEleven]

In the actual shirt, obama has pendant that is a pentagram... if you know about the pentagram then you know what i'm leading to

[xpez]

the great plagiarist

[Annik5k]

Where is the part where Obama sued him?

Funny how someone with such a punk rock mentality would fall for complete bullshit, the fact he even decided to make himself politically affiliated makes me want to punch him in his smug little face.... And all those who question shepord, he's very talented... Unfortunately now he's rich and talented... Therefor no soul...

Buy his shit, then go spray paint a wall... Now your just as cool as everyone els....

TOYS!

GO!

HOME!

[inkfink1]

why do people think this guy is a graff artist.what do you guys think? i like his work but its not graff.

[SketchyPainter]

quite funny how everyones shitting it about his political views

[bdj010]

@SketchyPainter Probably because it is scary the way some people have been about Obama. It has been practically God worship.

[aefkjj]

Fairey is such a douche: 1) he started the Obey campaign as an anti advertising movement but then decided it would be more lucrative to use it for a clothing line. Thereby turning all the work of the shmucks that bought his bs into free labor posting ads for his anti add clothing line. 2) Fairey, who is widely criticized for his appropriation of others people's images, is suing other artists for appropriating HIS images.

[TheJovanist]

Obey has nice and catchy artwork designs but the message behind this clothing brand is bullshit. It's actual mission is to make people believe propaganda & accept Obama's bullshit. Politics is a mess rigged from the start. The public does not have any real influence, just an illusion of freedom in political decisions. This guy is speaking a TON / MASS LOAD of double standards in his statements. The punk ass is also wearing a Rockefeller shirt....come on the corporate banker? Cunt..

[yerk3]

@TheJovanist So, because his shirt has a word that happens to be the name of an old banking family from the early 20th century, he's in with the lizard men?

[shaymultimedia]

Hey Shep, can you tell Obama to please stop appeasing the Kremlin dictators Putin and Medvedev?

[yerk3]

@shaymultimedia Putin was appeasing Bush, not the other way around. Medvedev takes a more critical stance, but he's not a dictator. And seriously, Kremlin? I know the historic government district of Moscow is still called the Kremlin, as it has been for the last 600 years or so, but the way you use it, smacks of Red Scare imagery that has been an anachronism for about 20 years, during which Russia has functioned as a capitalist republic.

[shaymultimedia]

@yerk3 – You are clueless. Medvedev is a dictator, in league with KGB thug Putin. Elections in Russia mean nothing. The suppression of the legitimate opposition in Russia reeks of soviet oppression, and the censorship of the media is a clear sign of despots in fear of democracy. If Medvedev wasn't a dictator he would pardon Khodorkovsky (though MK is innocent) and release him immediately. Russia is a quasi-fascist petro dictatorship where legal nihilism is the norm.

[yerk3]

@shaymultimedia Okay, how is Medvedev a dictator? Because he's Russian? I guess it really doesn't matter what they do in Russia, "Russia" will always equal "Soviet" in the minds of those truly immune to reason. After all, Glenn Beck said so, and Glenn Beck is never wrong about anything.

[shaymultimedia]

@yerk3 - OK professor, how about the fact that the legitimate opposition movement in Russia led by Nemtsov & and Kasparov are not allowed to register their parties for elections, and they are denied access to state-controlled TV broadcasting? How about the fact that Amnesty International, journalists Without Borders, Transparency International, and the Council of Europe have determined Medvedev and Putin as dictators? And your ignorance of the facts puts you in the same category as Glenn Beck.

[HoneyWhite]

Man, Shepard is SO inspirational to a 21st century artist like myself; I don't consider him a sell-out --he's been lucky enough to grab the attention of the media & the pubic, which, to me, the public is what makes us [artists] *earn* that light that shines down out from Heaven on any single individual & just *BaM!* Gleeeeams the word "A R T I S T" right above our heads. Shepard, the Andy, Jean Michel, & Keith Haring are who I've strived to be myself for the past 20 yrs!

[unicef58]

I wonder how he would critique Obama now

[AshKilamande]

Obey Brand = Illuminati.. look closely at the designs on their clothing

[iCalvinXP]

@AshKilamande

I think it's against Illuminati..Because he's against Iraq war.

[AshKilamande]

@iCalvinXP lol you can't believe everything you hear

[yerk3]

@AshKilamande Ooh, you're on the internet? I thought technology was supposed to be an illuminati plot to sap our precious bodily fluids.

[AshKilamande]

@yerk3 ...-.- no need to be a smart ass.

[95soul]

i fukin love obey

[soccerloveer1]

What is the name of his style??

[TheTavi99]

street art?

[anotheraccount420]

@soccerloveer1 i dont know if there is a name but maybe its stenciling and/or postering you could even call it wheat pasting

[alexiproductions]

this presidency is sick...but then again, the world isn't supposed to be getting better.

[celticsupporter123]

haha grey hair

[HowieFeelin]

Fairey shameless plagiarist hack

[4ribel]

кто знает как можно сделать фото в этом стале как у Оби???

[scdarrow]

Saw this guy in Pittsburgh earlier this week. Great time, alot of beautiful women, he's a pretty good dj too. I think without a doubt his biggest influence has to be Raymond Pettibon.

[dderring]

"Well, if these people are going to vote for someone based on how he looks, I don't want to be party to that." That is a quote from the very conservative and republican Johnny Ramone. Nice shirt, very typical.

[2burp1]

fuck haters

[vyceapparel]

shepard steals peoples photos google it!

[milltownballer15]

sellout

[amatames]

it's propaganda to help usher in fascism to america. oh the irony. it's totally full circle. so sheppard, what is your political agenda? do you know that Obama has appointed a cabinet that are all tied to the banking industry and that Goldman Sacs has successfully looted the treasury? we've been robbed. blind. yea, america. so do you care or know about this administrations true agenda? are you in on it Sheppard? Are you for an america without constitutional sovereignty?

[KMFDM420]

Like he said, he just 'saw the image of obama' but..hey, Obamas a dipshit with atleast 35 hands up his ass, and if Shepard hasnt realized it yet..then he is in on it.

[destroya15463]

That Fairy looks like a real cocksucker.

[skellingtone]

I don't believe that Obama is "the worst thing to happen to America yet", but I do think that this fairy guy is a total douche

[CHRISCOOBS]

shepard is a tool. get with it people, obama is the worst thing to happen to america yet.

[jstets1978]

yep worst president since gw bush

[angrydog1295]

".....I'll be the first to critique him as well..." Such B.S, mr Fairey.....it is June 6th....we are still dying/fighting in Iraq. More troops in Afganstan ....

I guess obama is just confused. Troops will be out , ummm, when again?  Idiots.

[mitch6211]

anyone know the name of the glue they use

[spraypaint15]

HAHAHA about97gorillas, and mempty, you guys are a bunch of left wing commies! you guys are the communist who are going to turn this country into HELL and same with your good old friend BARRACK OBAMA. you guys are a bunch of homo's. get a fuking life and move on

[hackerx9]

you need to take your own advise Obama won so get over it!

[TwistyGonet2J]

Wow, shut the fuck up you right-winged homophobe! Nobody wants to hear your conservative bullshit except for the dipshit conservatives around you. Now if you excuse me, I need to go back to being a "communist". Wow, you are fucking dumb.

[suuperstylin]

this guys is smart, onestly his piece one hell of a leader.. damn haha

[mempty]

GOD u are "fighting" and insulting shepard as an artist because of the obama poster, he thinks that OBAMA IS GREAT,SO WHAT ?,are u so fucking blind that can't see his other pieces of work rocks too and "talks" about something else, like war or polution or maybe nothing at all, that are simply great. wake up open your eyes and see that he's a great artist even if u share or not his point of view.And SPRAYPAINT15,he might be an illegal tagger but his work as a designer IS LEGAL and still KICK ASS

[cinnamonfantasy]

ALL HOPE IS GONE!

[spraypaint15]

I saw his OBEY and some of his Obama Hope posters all over Denver.....actually i think this guy is still in denver because i see his OBEY wheatpasting stuff everywhere......this guy is an illegal tagger and is a VANDAL. he recently got arrested to.........WOW! WHAT A GREAT ROLE MODEL!

[about97gorillas]

God kid why do you have to be such a douche bag? let him do what he wants to, maybe it was his goal to get arrested just to see what it was like, and who said that he was a role model. Shepard Fairey is just alive, and so are you, but have you created a work of art in such a great proportion that you have the publicity that he does? shut the fuck up, POSER.

[hackerx9]

yet McCain killed people

he's not a very good role model ether

[sk8bow]

in the bush adminstration, i felt no one in my immediate contact was politically active or even open about how they felt of the current admin. now we wake up feeling a bit better than back then. i hope we can do the same thing next election. peace!

[takupuckunemas]

Shut the fuck up all haters...He is popular all around da world....you cant even do stencil without copying something...

Shepard aka Obey you awesome

[AwesomeDrifterDrick]

hahahahaha oh man you're pretty funny.

[AwesomeDrifterDrick]

wow great comeback!

[AwesomeDrifterDrick]

they should've arrested you for being ignorant cdp1188

[Darogris]

Hey I was just wondering.

Since Mr. Fairey is a renegade artist and a tagger and all that stuff, he would probably not mind if people "tagged" his Obama "HOPE" murals.

I think a little black mustache over the lip or maybe change the H to D or the O to P or just erase the PE altogether - hey it's all in the name of art after all.

[AwesomeDrifterDrick]

wow then you'd be the coolest person ever for doing that! wow it really is "all in the name of art." dude get real wheatpasting posters is not tagging first of all. 2nd of all why don't you just make your own posters like his with the ideas you have? It's really all in the name of art darogris

[Darogris]

No way would I be cooler than Fairey though, he's the coolest. I can't wait until Obama's second term when he changes the word "HOPE" to "OBEY".

I know you can't wait either can you?

Stay strong and fight the power AwesomeDripperDick!

[AwesomeDrifterDrick]

Wow of course Fairey is the coolest! I can't wait for the 2nd term either. We'll all be successful, except for you because you won't accept what Obama is offering you. Sorry that your home got foreclosed and you maybe have a company that was victim to recession. Sorry you can't keep your hopes up and maybe if you send me a picture of yourself, i'll make you a poster with "degression" on it.

[Darogris]

I WILL ACCEPT AND OBEY!!!!!!!!

[hackerx9]

good if you obey obama and don't fuck around then everything will be fine

[about97gorillas]

Hey I was just wondering,

How much dick do you suck, you fucking immature punk-bitch, it's not tagging, it's putting up a poster about what he believes, so maybe you should just go find yourself a surgeon good enough to remove the head from your asshole! obviously you enjoy the conformity that is the nazi party that you belong to lead by your courageous Mr. Mcain, maybe if you make a poster of mcain I'll see what i can do with your little tiny moustache idea.

[Darogris]

Isn't it funny how lefties ALWAYS WITHOUT EXCEPTION go homophobe when they hear something they don't like?

I thought you were supposed to be the cool ones? Just like St. Barack...another phoney.

[TwistyGonet2J]

He didn't even mention the word homophobe you fucking moron. And maybe lefties say homophobe because conservatives always talk shit on gay people for no reason.

[darogr]

"Hey I was just wondering,

How much dick do you suck, you fucking immature punk-bitch"

You are honestly telling me I should not interpret that as homophobic?

Not that it offends me, I really don't mind telling how many dicks I suck. I just mind people trying to use it as an insult.

Remember you are supposed to be the "cool" people.

[TwistyGonet2J]

Lefties aren't homophobic! Maybe that guy is, and if he is, fuck him. I always believed most conservatives didn't agree with the gay lifestyle. I'm sorry I jumped the gun, I thought you meant that the guy was calling people homophobes.

[jstets1978]

im a small c conservative more libertarian could care less about what social issues bible thumpers claim ails society all have equal rights individually under the constitution.

[jakethesnakee93]

the poster looks like che guevara commie

[Darogris]

Okay, so the guys company is called "Subliminal Projects". I have heard people say if you look at the white portion a certain way you see the profile of Christ.

WTF are they doing to us?

Obama should DEMAND that all these posters and murals be taken down immediately.

[jlgrounds]

OMG - and if you listen to the white album backwards it says "eat more pizza".

[Darogris]

No it says "Drink more Kool-Aid" and obviously you listen to it a lot.

[jlgrounds]

Ha - not the 'kool-ail' again....think of something new please...God that is so tired

[KidR0b0t93]

Yeah Right alsic251 Shepard Fairey Is A True Artist Hes No Phony He Created The Ironic Obama Picture Everyone Uses.The Ironic Picture He Created Of Obama Spread Across The World Like A Disease.

[blindcrackhead374]

he got sued by the Associated Press for the HOPE poster he made

[alsic251]

Shepard Fairey is a fucking hack and phony artist. He is a corporate artist. Bansky is a true artist. Fuck him and his fans! Bitch!

[jlgrounds]

Yeah right -what is with all you folks....is your medication wearing off? WTF

[alsic251]

Shut the fuck up, fool! I don't take meds! Fuck You!

[jlgrounds]

Good trolling there - if you are reading this, perhaps you should consider meds and an anger management help for sure! Lighten up before you have a stroke or something.

[alsic251]

shut the fuck bitch. You don't know shit about art or psychopharmacology! Stick a bottle of SSRI's or MAOI's up your ass! And get off Obey's jock, fucking groupie!

[Larrythecucumber7]

Obama would make a great head for the New World Order aka the mark of the beast, which is being established by the little illuminati

[jayshwan]

liked his art, but he sounds so full of himself. really changes the way i look at his art. wouldnt go as far as to call him a douche but definitely not the "revolutionary" man id thought he'd be.

[geekchix0r]

Well to be fair, all artists in general are usually extremely egocentric. Just research Salvador Dali.

[trippingmetal]

Fairey is the man.

[myY0UTUBEchanneI]

Sorry for bursting your bubble of Obamaics

Obama just launched a strike on pakistan killing 17.

[dangormich]

Socialism has a high failure rate? I'm not an advocate of "socialism", whatever you think that is, but you must admit our society is not purely capitalistic; America has both capitalistic and socialistic policies. These two systems of thought are not mutually exclusive. It is a question of balance.

And Nazis and Communists? What the hell are you talking about?

[ShadowMoses12]

yeah your right, not disagreeing with you at all. but socialism by itself fails everytime. because without the need to be self sufficient no one will be self sufficient

[KingJamesBible]

Awesome poster, especially if you like the communist/nazis "look"

Fitting as well

[trylonperisphere]

I sure do like that look.

[jayliquori]

it's called graphic design representing the will of the people, and not money.

[haracas]

This man is nothing short of amazing. His ideas and artstyles are so simple yet unique at the same time. I definitely would like to see his work on obama's presidency.

[mitch7788]

Yep...like most of Hollywood...useful idiots.

Change happens from the bottom up?

OK so all the little people have to change before the selfish greedy fat leftists do?

Yes I see it now..like when I was in Red China and 3000 people on one farm shared 1 truck and lived in dirt floor "houses" 12" x18". And the Leader lived in a 40 room mansion and had over 30 limos in front of it. 'Work harder people to make everything better'. More for govt 'we'll care for you'. Socialism has 100% failure rate.

[ssanders6]

Socialism does indeed have a high failure rate... good thing we aren't a Socialist country. Or do you know nothing about politics?

[NoDeth]

EPI!!!!!!!!!

[viktorg82]

useful idiot.

[hxcoug]

his message is to constantly question everything and not follow what you are told to do just because you're told to do it. how's that at all douche? shep is a revolutionary.

[AmandaDelight]

This is awesome!

Good for him!
