Regarding this Occupy Boston poster, artist Jesse Haley writes:

The Occupy Boston poster was created on October 11, 2011, the first night Boston police broke up the encampment. I was at home watching the livestream from Dewey Square, and the contrast between the imposing, blank slab of the Federal Reserve Building and the crowd of people with their fragile flags and tents seemed a perfect visual representation of the deeper struggle.

My work for South End Textiles often features Boston area neighborhoods and landmarks. A typical piece starts as digital photograph, gets printed, traced and sketched, and finally scanned into Adobe Illustrator for more editing and coloring. I love working with basic shapes, strong lines and bold colors.

The tents are down, the plazas are swept. How to make an intensely place-based movement live on when the places change or get left behind? To this end, Occuprint collects and publishes posters from Occupiers worldwide, aiming to make the ongoing Occupy movement “more visible in physical spaces, not just virtual ones.” Many designs riff on the essential characteristics of a city, humorously quote other regime changing events, and echo the legendary graphics of an earlier age.
