The story behind the Obama "Hope" poster

You probably recognize this poster from the Obama T-shirt you just bought online or from the art show held at a gallery in Denver's LoDo during the Democratic National Convention in August. The poster was created by street artist Shepard Fairey, who also was on hand in Denver to talk about his work. It's become one of those iconic images that go way beyond poster art. Ben Arnon tells the story behind the image in a post on today's Huffington Post. Read it at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-arnon/how-the-obama-hope-poster_b_133874.html
