BoingBoing TV featured a video this week of Glen E. Friedman and Shepard Fairey. I have been aware of Mr. Friedman for some time as the man behind this and many other iconic images of The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and RUN-DMC. Mr. Fairey is best known right now for the iconic Obama illustration that graced many cars, etc. He has a long history, most notably the “Obey Giant” and “Andre the Giant has a Posse” Memes.

The items I truly covet are new editions of “1984″ & “Animal Farm” with cover designed by Mr. Fairey:

These were to only be issued in the UK but we will see if that lasts. This is beautiful, striking design.
