The Date Farmers, Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma, are incredibly talented artists. This Obama poster blows away Shepard Fairey's recent poster creation. I'm not usually one to buy prints, but i'm going to buy one of these. They will be sold on the Upper Playground website for $200, with all proceeds going to creating more campaign posters and stickers by other artists in support of Obama.
Upper Playground
"On March 4th, 2008, Barack Obama has the chance to secure the Democratic Party nomination for President by winning the delegates in both Texas and Ohio. We at Upper Playground are pleased to announce our support of Barack Obama in 2008. For too long we have been plagued by mediocrity and incompetence at the Executive level. As an international company, we feel that it is time to support a candidate that truly embodies the American spirit in both his campaign and his ideologies. We believe that Barack Obama is that candidate.
To help secure Obama's bid, Upper Playground has asked the Date Farmers to create a campaign poster to be mass-distributed on offset posters throughout Texas prior to the primary in that state. Upper Playground is offering the same image as a limited-edition screen print of the Date Farmers' Obama 2008 campaign poster through www.upperplayground.com. There will only be 300 limited-edition copies of the poster signed and numbered by the artists available (price is $200 each). All proceeds from the sales of the Date Farmers’ Obama 2008 screen print will go directly to creating more campaign posters and stickers by other artists in support of Obama's bid for President. The limited-edition screen prints are a pre-sale item, and will not be shipped until March 7th, 2008."
Be sure to vote, every chance you get.
