Spike Lee?

Remember way back when (well actually way back before the big election) I did an Obama poster for a design site? Well, come to find out, my design has been recognized by some pretty interesting people, Spike Lee to be exact. Anyways, Spike Lee and TASCHEN publishing are publishing a book for the 1 year anniversary of the big win. The book is set to showcase some essays by Spike himself, as well as some political art produced prior to the election. (This is where my poster comes into play) The book's focus to is show the power of street developed art and its continued worth using viral marketing. We all know the power that Shepard Fairey's image had on the campaign! All the posters created for this site where to be freely made posters not for profit or gain, but to simply spread the word more through street art. All posters were meant to be copied and printed and posted wherever. Simply creating a mass viral poster campaign of quality political art done by artist throughout the country.

Guess what, it worked, clearly.

Anyways, my poster is set to be highlighted in the book being published in November.

Its' pretty cool to be involved in such project.
