While browsing www.upperdeckstore.com to see what sports memorabilia I could purchase to make the wife visibly upset I saw this.

MICHAEL JORDAN ART PRINTS



BY SHEPARD FAIREY

COMING SOON!

Together with acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, Upper Deck presents specially commissioned artwork featuring 2009 Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Shepard, who is known for creative street art campaigns and iconic pieces of work (like his memorable "HOPE" portrait of President Barack Obama), has now added Michael Jordan to his select list of subjects. In honor of Michael's career, Shepard created North Carolina and Chicago Bulls-themed depictions along with a bold portrait of the Hall of Famer.

Everything about Michael Jordan is iconic, from his slam dunks to his signature shoes, so he makes a great subject for portraiture because everything about him is laced with cultural significance.

He's already got a couple of Kobe prints on the upperdeck website.

i like fairey, i've seen some obey prints that are dope and have great design/detail. dudes definitely a talented artist, hes just successful, and for some reason, this pisses all of you off. don't hate a dude for doing what you would do in a heartbeat if you had a chance:rolleyes:

 

that being said, i don't own any of his work, and i don't plan to. i just don;t hate the guy for being successful and talented.

Biting from propaganda posters isn't talent.
