100 exclusive framed prints created, signed, and numbered by Shepard Fairey will be available tomorrow, August 20th, at 11am PDT. A series of tees will also accompany this new release.
The limited edition art was designed by Shepard Fairey exclusively for Rock the Vote in an effort to rally and encourage young people to show their support this election season.
CafePress, the user-generated political t-shirt and gift company, and Rock the Vote have come together to make Shepard Fairey Rock the Vote merchandise available online in their shop. All proceeds from the sale of this art will go directly to Rock the Vote to support voter registration and get out the vote efforts.
"I wanted to make art for Rock the Vote because I feel that many young people need to be reminded that voting is a direct and powerful way to express their opinions and shape policy," Fairey said.
"Rock the Vote reaches out to younger voters who often have progressive views, but fail to turn up at the polls. I wanted to do anything I could to help Rock the Vote encourage a powerful group of potential voters to participate in democracy." Word, Shepard. Word.
