This year has been monumental for every race of people. Not only has it been memorable for the world but also for an artist named Shepard Fairey. Fairey created one of the most sought out pieces of President Elect Barack Obama. Recently this famous portrait, that can be seen almost anywhere, was printed for the cover of the new Time magazine. “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, multilayered poster that echoes but then expands on his original.” - TIME
