A short video look at the layered process of Shepard Fairey.
Most notable as of late to the masses for his iconic image of President Obama in his HOPE poster. Politics aside, I have liked Shepard Fairey's stencil work for years. Heavily politically motivated and ever seeking to strike you with a message. When I say strike you, I mean if he could - he would have his work physically smack you across the face. I don't know - I just get that vibe. He first became known for his "André the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign (1989) and twenty years later is still going strong, and still getting arrested.
