Shine Chisholm created this hope-themed glazed bowl: “Shepard Fairey’s work inspired me, like many other artists. I had recently begun experimenting by tracing with carbon paper to glaze a detailed image, and this project lent itself to that end very well. the piece is hand-thrown (by me) white stoneware fired to cone 10, glazed and fired to cone 6.” Nice work! More images inside.
It has only been a week since the inauguration and surely you are still feeling the groove of this new administration. Either way though, we can agree that this photo by is a stunning and somber image of once proud Fairey posters.
The field painters sent in a new piece: “Wings of Hope” Jim Lennox, Shickshinny, PA Painted Steel and Wood Mechanical Obama Hope Sculpture. It combines the classic Shepard Fairey’s campaign poster with a hand-built mechanics to make the wings actually flap.

Now during the final countdown, Fairly releases a new poster – obviously inspired by the first… Hopefully this election day, it inspires you.
