Both fascism and communism keep as strong sources when political design requires an equally strong propaganda. Apart from the beauty of their craft, it’s just scary the bloody chapters behind both of them. Communism specially, when it reaches more victims than nazism itself.

Shepard’s is turning into a classic and will have its own place in political history.

Hey, Christina:

Shepard’s great. Here’s an interview I did with him a few years ago (which is also in my book, ‘Follow for Now’):

Nice write up.

I agree with you. I like the illustration, buy am not too hip on the colors. It could have also been more patriotic.

I’d get one just because it’s Shephard Fairey piece either way.
