USA's #1 Forward

There's alot of names and credits going into this project so I'll let Juxtapoz tell you all about it. Im seriously considering copping though..
YES WE CAN.



"...Swiss graphic artist and Brooklyn resident Grotesk has partnered with Upper Playground to produce this exclusive Barack Obama print. In the last decade Grotesk has developed a passion for folk art, street photography, hand-painted signs, vintage sport graphics, old school hip-hop music, and urban anthropology.
Grotesk’s Barack Obama poster is part of an ongoing series from Upper Playground of artist collaborations in support of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Upper Playground has endorsed Obama's campaign by creating posters featuring artwork from The Date Farmers, Munk One, Ron English, Alex Pardee, Morning Breath, Mac, Sam Flores and Mear One, in addition to printing T-shirts with Shepard Fairey's Obama graphics to help support the campaign.
There were 200 prints made that are signed and numbered, but only 30 prints will be available for sale and each poster retails for $200. The limited-edition 18" x 24" print is available exclusively online at upperplaygroundstore.com."
