Shepard Fairey Remixes His Iconic Hope Poster For #Occupy
It’s pretty amazing that the artist that helped President Obama get elected is now using his own iconic design to appeal to the President on behalf of the #Occupy movement.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!
Shepard Fairey Remixes His Iconic Hope Pos...
Jack Moore
From Fairey’s blog:
“This image represents my support for the Occupy movement, a grassroots movement spawned to stand up against corruption, imbalance of power, and failure of our democracy to represent and help average Americans. On the other hand, as flawed as the system is, I see Obama as a potential ally of the Occupy movement if the energy of the movement is perceived as constructive, not destructive. I still see Obama as the closest thing to “a man on the inside” that we have presently. Obviously, just voting is not enough. We need to use all of our tools to help us achieve our goals and ideals. However, I think idealism and realism need to exist hand in hand. Change is not about one election, one rally, one leader, it is about a constant dedication to progress and a constant push in the right direction. Let’s be the people doing the right thing as outsiders and simultaneously push the insiders to do the right thing for the people. I’m still trying to work out copyright issues I may face with this image, but feel free to share it and stay tuned…”

guywithamustach a year agoits cool and all that they use anon as a face for protests and things that give people power over the elite class, but in my opinion anon has become a joke, it has become a thrend for hipstters and popular kids, it no longer stands for what it used to be. and now its being sold? waht’s next a T.V. show?

harrisonfritz a year agoCapitalism is the economic heart of America, bros! Our President can never support a movement comprised of so many elements that seek to undermine our economic core.
