Saks Propaganda

Last week I saw the images of the new Saks Fifth Ave campaign for its catalogs and collateral and instantly thought that Shepard Fairey was somehow behind it. After reading this NY Times article... I was right, Fairey is the man behind it.

I'm not gonna taint this career move as "selling out." I'm going to commend Saks on hiring kick-ass, relevant designers like Fairey, Michael Beirut and Marian Bantjes to help improve their image and marketing collateral.

Now that Fairey is in the National Portrait Gallery, we know he's not really desperate for clients and I'm sure this is a properly calcualted (and funded) move.

I'm not hating... good on ya!

Historical Street Art

Everyone's favorite street artist/designer has already cemented his place in history during the 2008 US Presidential Elections with his posters and imagery of Barack Obama. Just when you think he couldn't be more of a big deal... he can be. The Smithsonian Institute is raising the $75K needed to purchase the giant, fine art version of the iconic Obama image used in the presidential campaign to put in the National Portrait Gallery.

This election has turned out to be historical on so many levels! I love it !
Long live street art!

OBEY Penguin

Just read that Shepard Fairey (Obey Giant) has been commissioned by Penguin to do cover artwork for Animal Farm and 1984. As if these books weren't awesome enough... now they're "awesomer" with the Obey touch.

Looks like Christmas has comer early this year!
