The artist behind the Barack Obama “HOPE” image, Shepard Fairey (named Time magazine’s “Icon Maker” of the year), has now created a powerful image for Adopt-a-Pet.com. Fairey developed an ADOPT image that features a mutt that will serve as the national campaign centerpiece to raise awareness about the importance of adopting pets.
With the country’s shelters filled to capacity with adoptable animals including, as Obama put it, “Mutts like me,” Adopt-a-Pet.com launched MuttsLikeMe.com. The site offers free downloads of the ADOPT image that can be printed and posted in your neighborhood, used on personal websites, used as wallpaper, and even as coloring book pages.
“On the heels of Obama’s comment, I got a call from Pia Salk, an animal advocate who works with North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website, Adopt-a-Pet.com,” said Fairey. “Pia simply asked if I might be willing to collaborate on a way to have my art help these animals.”
“As most of you know, I’m a big believer in speaking up for all who suffer injustice, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or in this case, species! And I’m all for adopting from the shelter. The image I created for this print reminds me of a dog I had as kid, a mutt named Honey. I have created a limited edition run of 400 signed and numbered silk-screen prints that will be available through Adopt-A-Pet.com. Proceeds will go to getting the furry non-partisan U.S. residents, who share our country, saved and into homes.”
