Obey Giant - These Parties Disgust Me Screen Print by Shepard Fairey

At first, The Blot dismissed “These Parties Disgust Me” as just another screen print in a long line of uninspired prints produced by the Obey Giant machine. But then I decided to reexamine “These Parties Disgust Me” and realized Shep might actually be trying to say something with this print. What that is I can’t exactly say, but I do love the ornate pattern in the print’s background featuring the Republican elephant mascot and the Democratic donkey mascot. I’ve also read that the woman featured in the print is Shepard’s wife Amanda, but I can neither confirm nor deny that allegation.
