Know The Ledge will be representing the OBEY posse hard this weekend.  Tonight, I’ll be DJing the opening reception and private afterparty for Shepard Fairey’s solo exhibition - “Duality for Humanity“.  With over 100 pieces, the public will have a chance to catch the exhibition from now until Oct. 4th.  Tomorrow night, the KTL crew will be at the Party for Change event at MILK in San Francisco.  With Shepard and Z-Trip on the decks, you know its going to a party.  I got booted by Platurn but whatever, I’m still climbing up the ladder.  Hope to see you on Sat Night!!! I get to sport my new Obama shirt.

Shepard Fairey Interview today on NPR.

Shepard talks specifically about his aim for creating the iconic Obama poster, and how its success is a mixed blessing. “The part that I didn’t expect was once it was posted online what it would achieve virally,” Fairey says.
Alex Cohen sat down with Shepard yesterday at the DNC in Denver for the interview.
Listen.

Other great Obama prints including one from my man Scott Hansen of ISO50.com
