Copy of the "Inauguration Day" Washington Post Special
Featuring Shepard's Images Included with Purchase
Designed as part of a HUGE nationwide political campaign for the Inauguration Day of President-Elect Trump. Washington DC has severe restrictions on signs and banners, and these images were printed on every newspaper (i.e. Washington Post) on January 20th, as a message from the American People peacefully projecting their disapproval against Apathy, Ignorance, Sexism, Xenophobia, and Racism. These images will have an iconic place in the History of America, about one of the most divisive times in America's Story, taking its place in textbooks and museums for future generations.
There will be many of these images on Inauguration Day, and further, many editions printed for both Active Use and Private Collections, but there will be only 50 of the Large Format Prints ever made of this historic image and have been featured on CNN.
The image reimagined by Shepard Fairey was based off a controversial photograph taken by Arlene Mejorado.
Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator and founder of OBEY Clothing who emerged from the skateboarding scene. He first became known for his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (Obey) sticker campaign while attending the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), which appropriated images from the comedic supermarket tabloid Weekly World News.
He became widely known during the 2008 U.S. presidential election for his Barack Obama "Hope" poster. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Shepard Fairey
Expanding on the legacies of artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey’s practice disrupts the distinction between fine and commercial art.
A major artist of the street art movement, Fairey rose to prominence in the early 1990s through the dispersion of prints, posters, stickers and murals, related to his Obey Giant campaign, which yielded an international cultural phenomenon. Fairey’s iconic poster of President Barack Obama was adopted as the official emblem associated with the presidential campaign and encapsulates a number of recurring concerns in the artist’s work, including propaganda, portraiture and political power.
