OBEY OBAMA - OH YES YOU CAN'T?!
The Obey artwork that Shepard Fairey did for the famous Obama poster that's been all over the place recently (and which we blogged about just down there....) used an image taken by Associated Press. The AP are now suing Shepard for not getting permission to use the image... Ho hum. Will the world never celebrate creativity for a good cause?! Or should Shepard have asked first?

CHECK OUT SHYSTIE - NEW STYLE
Shystie featuring DJ Deekline
‘New Style’
(Rat Records)
Quick introduction: Shystie is the garage MC who tore it a few years ago with the MJ Cole-remixed ‘Make It Easy’. As an actor, she starred in the box office smash ‘Adulthood’, featuring the awesome theme track by Bashy. Deekline is the provider of the fat-ass breakbeat, with a remix & collaboration CV that includes Top Cat, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and The Freestylers. Put them both together and you get ‘New Style’, a mid-tempo, bottom-heavy breakbeat rumbler with a smooth lyrical attack, and a catchy chorus. See for yourselves here...

OBEY OBAMA - OH YES WE DID!
Super cool street art brand Obey have been spreading their subliminal message since 1989, posting their logo everywhere possible and also creating a range of popular clothing and accessories, and we featured Obey artist Shepard Fairey on the front cover of our December 05/January 06. Their "campaign" can be seen as an experiment in reawakening people's sense of wonder about their environment. Their logo is derived from an image of Andre the Giant, a pop-culture athlete in the eighties, and is by artist Shepard Fairey.
More recently, Shepard Fairey's design featuring new US president Barack Obama and the slogan "Yes We Did" has been a massive success, and tees featuring the image have been selling out. With Obama taking on his new role and Shepard's original artwork all over the place this is your chance to bag an historical and very cool bit of clothing...
