Shepard Fairey x Levi's Times Square Art Installation

The Obey for Levi's collaboration was celebrated Thursday night with a live installation by street artist Shepard Fairey in New York's Times Square. Debuting his latest Levi's poster graphics the installation comes in the wake of a capsule collection of propaganda jeans created by the artist famous for his Barack Obama image of "HOPE".

LANCE ARMSTRONG GETS BUTTERFLIES

In a winning collaboration where art meets sport, artists including KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, Marc Newson and Damien Hirst have paired with Lance Armstrong to realize a series of charitable artworks. Now in the final stages of his Tour de France challenge, Armstrong will ride the Damien Hirst bike pictured when he crosses the finish line in Paris July 26th. Complete with the artist's signature butterfly wings and LIVESTRONG logo all proceeds will benefit Armstrong's cancer charity.

Manifest Hope: DC Gallery

Apparently Shephard Fairey isn't the only artist with Obama fever. Festivities leading up to the inauguration included Manifest Hope: DC Gallery, a temporary art exhibition to celebrate artists' grass roots efforts to support Barack Obama's campaign. Robert Indiana, pictured above with his Hope, was among the artists to participate in the show.

Shepard Fairey Loves Obama

Famous for his Obey and now iconic Obama images we love artist Shepard Fairey's new "Be the Change" poster created in honor of tomorrow's presidential inauguration. A limited edition number of prints will be available on the Inaugural Collectibles website. Signed and numbered posters sell for $500, but the recession collector can snag an unsigned print for $100. While you're on the site be sure to check out Runway to Change. Tory Burch, Zac Posen, Alex Wang and DvF among others have designed T-shirts, scarves, and totes to commemorate the historic event. All products are union made in the US and proceeds will help cover the cost of Obama's inauguration.
