Exclusive: Limited-Edition Obama Silk-screened TeeSpotted: Ryan Philippe wearing a cool Barack Obama T-shirt last week. The design might look familiar: It’s a silk screen of a poster by graffiti artist Obey (né Shepard Fairey), which is now selling for hundreds to, well, thousands on eBay. Only about 900 of the shirts were made and then handed out for free at rallies, which is how Philippe nabbed one in L.A.
