OBEY THE GIANT

OBEY THE GIANT

There are 17 hours left in Julian Marshall’s kickstarter for OBEY THE GIANT, the first narrative film about Shepard Fairey.  Although Shepard was not directly involved with the film/project, we want to show support.
Julian Marshall (RISD ’12) recently directed the first narrative film about the early life of Shepard Fairey and the origin of his OBEY GIANT street art campaign. The film chronicles the Buddy Cianci billboard incident that occurred while Shepard was a Junior at RISD in 1990. The trailer is available on his Kickstarter page. Julian is currently raising funds for post production and the cost to send the film to festivals.

Check out the trailer and please donate and help him send the film to festivals!

Obama Made History

Obama Made History

I’m very happy that Obama had the courage and conviction to show his support for marriage equality despite the possible political fallout. Even though I’m pushing for campaign finance reform, I agree with MoveOn that support for Obama’s risk-taking is warranted and may be needed to help preserve the progress on the issue. The world needs more love, not more people trying to discriminate against consenting adults who love the way they choose. Tolerance is a virtue! Check out what MoveOn has to say on the issue. Thanks for caring.
