Shepard Fairey's latest claim to fame has been his iconic poster of Barack Obama which went viral this year during the election campaign, even though it wasn't an official part of the campaign. 
This artist, illustrator and graphic designer extraordinaire began by making "Andre the Giant has a Posse" stickers and plastering them all over the streets.
Now the Giant Obey label has become a clothing line and poster factory of epic proportions. Check them out at obeygiant.com
