Shepard Fairey Artist

Reeling off his success for his recently launched OBEY work, which in his own words "has no meaning but exists only to cause people to react, to contemplate and search for meaning in the sticker", Shepard has had a piece of artwork go viral. 

The artwork went viral and was widely described as an iconic representation of the Obama campaign. This was one of the first artworks to go viral globally. The poster was inspired by social realism and by october 2008, Fairey claimed to have printed 300,00 posters this is not including the individuals who had printed them off as he put a digital copy on his website.
