Shepard Fairey Makes Obama President

obama

On the day of Obama’s inauguration we here at Scamp Towers would like to mark the occasion by recognising the real reason for his historic win…Shepard Fairey.

Fairey is the man behind OBEYGIANT and the designer of the Obama Poster (above), he is a contemporary artist, graphic designer and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene and became known initially for his “André the Giant Has a Posse” sticker campaign.

Hail to the power of the poster.
