Shepard Fairey's "Love Unites" Posters Get Celeb Makeovers for Charity: Cheyenne, Reichen, Milo, More!
Reichen Lehmkuhl's sassy collage can be yours!
Supercool and politically liberal artist Shepard Fairey (of the famous "Obama/HOPE" poster) has joined forces with some good gay charity folks, lead by FAIR (an LGBT grass-roots group) to allow his fab gay-marriage poster, "Defend Equality / Love Unites" to get some cool celeb makeovers!
Big-time stars like Julia Roberts, Robert DeNiro, Ellen and Portia, Scarlett Johansson and gay-beloved folks like Cheyenne Jackson, Lance Bass, Sarah Silverman (and her show's cast), Marc Jacobs, Reichen Lehmkuhl, Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia and others have either autographed or gotten downright crafty with the famous image.
These newly revamped posters are being auctioned off on November 12th with proceeds going to benefit grassroots organizations fighting for marriage equality in California and across the country. Nice, right?
Milo Ventimiglia hopes you'll like his fist.
More posters and info after the jump!
“This project gives a platform to almost 100 celebrities who have pledged their support to marriage equality," says Andrew Oldershaw, co-founder of FAIR. "It is our hope that this further reminds our community, our allies and our opponents that our fight for same-sex marriage rights, and gay rights beyond marriage equality, will not go away until the unjust laws that limit ‘equality for all’ do too.”
The online auction of all the celeb-tastic prints launches on November 12th, and there's an FAIR FallOut event at the Andaz Hotel where you can view the posters and whoop it up! Shepard Fairey's even gonna DJ! Get all the arty info at www.FAIRonline.org; and click here for tickets.
And look below for posters by Sarah Silverman and her TV cast pals, and from Cheyenne Jackson!
Sarah Silverman, her sis and her onscreen gay-boys signed off on this one! Peace! Poop! Penis!
Cheyenne Jackson went to town with the rainbow-hued colored markers on this one! Nice!
