SHEPARD FAIREY x TIME MAGAZINE Feat. "Person of the Year" OBAMA

Submitted by admin on Sunday, 21 December 2008No Comment

Multimedia & street artist Shepard Fairey has teamed up with TIME magazine to present their latest cover art, just in time for their PERSON OF THE YEAR issue featuring President Elect Barack Obama. Take note of the long-lost photo shoot during Obama’s college years.

In the words of Time: “Our cover portrait is by the street artist Shepard Fairey, whose roots are in the skateboarding world and whose early poster of then Senator Obama became the great populist image of the campaign. With this cover, Fairey has now created a new iconic image of the President-elect — a rich, multi layered poster that echoes but then expands on his original.”
We say, the surprises just keep on coming. For the full read visit here.
