Obama Commerative Plates by Shephard

Shephard Fairey really hit the big time when his Obama print was picked up by the Obama Presidential Campaign that I discussed in last year in this post.




Having subsequently designed the official Inaugural Poster for Obama, he looks well positioned to become the go-to guy for reshaping how we visualize the White House, even with their awesome face lift they had.

Shephard Fairey has now got into the presidential souvenir pool with a set of commemorative plates (above).

Produced in a limited edition of 500 each, the plates feature Obama's visage at center with a border of slogans culled from last year's campaign. The plates can be purchased individually for $89, or as a set of two (one of each color) for $178, from The Future Perfect

Shephard was even asked to do a Martin Luther King Jr. image for Google to honor Martin Luther King day.

Let Freedom Reign

Happy Martin Luther King day.
