“I know a lot of people who sit on the sidelines and complain about how everything goes down and they’re not willing to stick their neck out and get involved in process,” Fairey said. “It’s easy to criticise, but I saw Obama give a speech at the 2004 democratic convention and thought this is a politician who is saying something I want to hear.” Fairey’s poster is part of Artists for Obama, described by the campaign as “art and merchandise donated to the campaign by the artists to help us raise money and grow our movement”. Although his poster is currently sold out, this one by Scott Hansen is still available.
