Shepard’s plagiarism aside; dude knows how to compose a poster. Listen to what he has to say about its creation. He doesn’t sound so douchey this time around. Not that I think he’s a douche-bag; he just sounds like one, usually.
Anyways, his image has become the most recognized planar since Che Guevera. Fairey distributed nearly one million pieces of Obama propaganda during the election; no doubt it had a part in sealing the deal. Obama’s response?
“I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can change the status-quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support.”
Damn, that’s quite the testimonial.
