"Both books feature stunning covers by Shepard Fairey - if you're going to grab people, get them by the short and curlies. But don't let either cover art or blurbs distract you from the words within."

bible gig?

great use of the big brother image for 1984. an obvious choice, but also a great illustration (from an underrated print).

Wow, these are awesome. You think Shep will sell signed copies through OG?

Wow that is amazing. These books are great classics and now shepard's work will be a part of them forever. Even he himself has got to be blown away by that a little bit. It's a major achievement and well deserved honor. Kudos to him for helping inspire kids to get out and read these awesome books.

I will take off from work if that animal farm print becomes available! This is the type of print that makes me LOVE his work.

I wonder if Penguin asked Shep or if he inquired to do these. Either way... awesome.

I'm sorry to say i have not read them, but owning them will get me a little bit closer!

Doesn't the Animal Farm cover remind you a little of the "This is Your God" Spider Pig created by one of members while we were waiting for the print to drop?

Shepard was approached by Penguin after the "Nineteeneightyfouria" show in London

I haven't either, I've heard good things always, though... which one is better of the pair (which order do people who've read them both think I should read them, or doesn't it matter?) I think this is the push I needed
