Shepard Fairey





Shepard Fairey is a modern street artist who originated in using stickers and went from stencils to great works. Most have seen his work with the company Obey. He has done work for Obama's campaign and has done many works for various artists and music legends. He works a lot with spray paint but does computer work too on some pieces. 

Features of his works usually reflect modern events going on, whether it be war or an election or a great musician. His backgrounds are known for intricate, complex patterns. He does a simple palette of colors, but is usually connected to the works message. Since he started out doing simple spraypaint stencils, his pieces include some form of stenciling in it. Lets see how I can recreate.
