SHEPARD FAIREY

This poster was made by SHEPARD FAIREY, an artist, graphic designer, and activist who is part of the Street Art Movement along with others artists such as Banksy. Fairey has blurred the line between fine art and commercial art and is best known for the iconic Hope poster which featured then presidential candidate Barack Obama. Of the piece above, he says "The bottom line is, you have to vote. If you don't participate, you leave things, even more so, in the hands of people you may not agree with."

With our eyes open, we can change the world
