Time Magazine – Person of the Year


Looks like Shepard scored another great magazine cover, his latest rendition of Obama graces this years Time Magazine’s Person of the Year issue. Here’s what Time had to say:

“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.”

Way to go Shep!

Of course, we can’t forget to mention Art Report artists Billikid, Zoltron and Michael Murphy all of whom had art that was listed as being some of the best Obama photos found on Flickr.
