Shepard Fairey

First a program on his work on Ovation and now an artist in the Smithsonian? I love the fact that Shepard Fairey is getting the recognition he deserves. His work is amazing and a treat to see on the streets of New York and Miami (and probably many other cities as well).

This article in today's New York Times however demonstrates how a street artist can achieve (and should achieve) the pinnacle of art recognition. HIs portrait of President Obama is now hanging in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. Congratulations and well deserved!
