NICOLE POWERS: Shepard Fairey: Purveyor of Hope

Having been harassed and arrested by agents of the United States' government as he perpetrated his graffiti art from coast to coast, Shepard Fairy has since earned the respect and gratitude of a future American president. Using the visual vocabulary of popular revolution, the humble DIY poster and sticker maker-cum-revered gallery and populist street artist used his graphic skill to transform Barack Obama from a presidential hopeful to a visionary icon.

But now that the future leader of our government...

While I appreciate he doesn't deface private property, I think most of the taxpayers of the public property he defaces don't appreciate his "art".
