Shephard Fairey Obama Commemorative Plates by Brian Fichtner

00477.jpg

Poster boy Shephard Fairey really hit the big time when his Obama print was picked up by the Obama Presidential Campaign last year. Having subsequently designed the official Inaugural Poster for Obama, he looks well positioned to become the go-to guy for reshaping how we visualize the White House.

If posters aren't your thing, take comfort in knowing that Fairey has also dipped his feet into the presidential souvenir pool with a set of commemorative plates. Available in red or blue, and produced in a limited edition of 500 each, the plates feature Obama's visage at center with a border of slogans culled from last year's campaign. The plates can be purchased individually for $89, or as a set of two (one of each color) for $178, from The Future Perfect.

Watermelon-Inspired Design
A few cheeky watermelon-themed products we happened upon recently got us thinking about the summer fruit as a source of design inspiration. While George Nelson's iconic modernist clock ($335 from Pure Modern) is a restrained nod to the melon's oblong shape, most of what's out there appeals to the pink, black and green colorway and the contrast of the exterior rind to the flesh....
eBoy Pixorama
Fans of eBoy's pixel-based artistry should jet over to Barcelona sometime this winter to check out their latest exhibition, Pixorama, at the ROJO®artspace. The exhibition features beautifully backlit renditions of their pop-colored urban scenography.
