Shepard Fairey, The God.

I figured with the last post, it was only natural for me to throw my biggest inspiration of the arts on here; Shepard Fairey. He is best known for his recognizable street art, graphic designs, and illustrations. After graduating from RISD, Fairey began working on major political projects. He is responsible for the majority of Obey Giant's successful designs, as well as cover art for bands like the Black Eyed Peas & The Smashing Pumpkins. He also designed the poster for the film Walk The Line. You can find  his art throughout the streets of many cities. Recently Shepard began work on his amazing and unforgettable graphic for the Obama campaign. I for one, own the shirt, and many stickers. This dude is a living god. Check out his latest work on the Rock The Vote design. Peace.
