Thank You For Your Support In 2008

To Friends, Family and Readers,

Thank you all for your kind support in 2008.  I truly appreciate you reading my blog and sharing the link with your friends.  My initial goal with The Fire Wire was to have a single online location that I could invite friends and family to that featured articles on things that I was interested in or thought they might find interesting.  It saved me time on sending multiple e-mails.  Fortunately, readership grew and the blog became a little more eclectic.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!  If you have any suggestions for the upcoming year or just want to say hi, please comment below.

 

I am very excited for 2009 as our first child; a daughter will be born in the Spring.  We cannot wait to welcome our little girl into the world.

 

I wish you and your families a very safe, healthy and Happy New Year. 

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Larry

Shepard Fairey George Orwell Print set

A couple of months ago, Shepard was approached by Penguin Books (UK) to do his take on the cover art for the literary classics, “1984” and “Animal Farm.”  Being that both books were inspirational and personal favorites of Shepard, this was a no brainer.  For the release, Penguin Books did a promotion selling the books with a cover art print set.  These prints were only available in the UK…Until now!  The print set is available in a very limited quantity.  The set will be released on 12/31 (Tomorrow) between noon and 3pm.  They are offset prints, size A2 (about 17″ x 24″), Edition of 200, signed/numbered. 

The print set will be available for $140 and can be ordered HERE. Good luck, they will go very fast!
