While in college my buddy Stephen introduced me to Shepard Fairey’s art. Ever since then, I’ve been following Fairey. You’ve seen his art before you just don’t know it’s his. Here are some interesting facts about Shepard Fairey.
He grew up in Wando, South Carolina.
He attended Rhode Island School of Design.
He’s been arrested 14 times for vandalism.
& lastly
He is thought, by many, to have single handedly gotten Barack Obama elected into office.
