There’s absolutely no excuse for failing to own George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm. But if you need further encouragement, maybe these Shepard Fairey-designed sleeves will provide it.

We have featured the striking Shepard Fairey (aka Obey) artwork over at Switched On Set – striking retro-styled art that certainly fits Orwell’s politically-inspired classic. Penguin hopes the new covers will give the books a new lease of life – and get them into the hands of today’s book-shy youth.

Both are available from July 3rd, no prices as yet. The cover of Animal Farm can be seen over the page.
