Regarding the Obama posters: 'This work is an emblem of a significant election, as well as a new presidency. Shepard Fairey's instantly recognisable image was integral to the Obama campaign' --The Independent, Jan 09
'Fairey, a former skate rat from South Carolina, has become one of the most recognisable artists in America, bridging the gap between populist street works and blue-chip fine art with his agitprop murals and screen-print provocations.' --GQ Magazine - Men of the Year 2008
What the panel said:This poster demostrates the power of communicating ideas and aspirations from grass-root level. Just as the presidential candidate's campaign speeches recaptured the lost art of oratory, so this poster breathed new life into a form that had lost its purpose. Fairey's poster came not from a marketing campaign, but as a self initiated fund raising campaign. --The artist Shepard Fairey has won the Brit Insurance Design Award 2009 for his iconic Obama campaign poster

Product Description
Updated and expanded to a massive 500 pages, with all the latest artwork from the Nighteeneightyfouria exhibition of 2007, plus Fairey's work in support of the US presidential candidate Barack Obama - Supply and Demand is the book that finally does justice to Shepard Fairey's entire body of work, a massive retrospective covering 20 years of this groundbreaking artist's prodigious output. Through the lens of esteemed writers and critics such as Carlo McCormick, Steven Heller and Roger Gastman, Fairey's work is seen for all its depth and placed in context as art, design, social experiment and "getting over". This massive book pulls no punches and all areas of the enigmatic artist's work, travels and travails are illuminated; from exhibitions, posters, flyers, silkscreens and stickers to high altitude pursuits, citations and police beatings, it's all documented in a museum quality layout and binding. The evidence is in, and it's clear that Shepard Fairey is not one to rest on his laurels, the work must go on. For both long time fans wanting the complete collection and those just curious to know what this OBEY business is all about Supply and Demand is the answer.

Format:Hardcover
This is my first review so i will keep it short. I saw this book at a local skate shop priced at £60 which i saw as a little steep, i checked on amazon and couldn't believe the price, so well done there! the book is amazingly well put together and i would suggest it to anyone interested in design and illustration or the ideology behind OBEY. the delivery was also ace, I opted for the free option and ordered it in between the Christmas and new year period so the expected arrival was the 4th... but it turned up on NYE and couldn't be more pleased with their quick service!!
thanks amazon
