HOPE: A STORY ABOUT ART AND A MESSAGE

So, Jan. 20, 2009 is finally upon us. A man, who is known to his family as Barry, who stepped up and said,"its time for a change", is gonna become our 44th President. It's wild to me the support and the hype that has surrounded this inauguration, but I hope people don't lose track of what this really means. I voted for him and hopefully change will come. Around the time when the campaign started for Barry, there was this poster that reminded me of the OBEY campaign with his face and with the word HOPE underneath. Powerful. To the point. Here is video of the story behind that poster and the artist who created this masterpiece, that will now be displayed in the U.S. Hall of Presidents, Shepard Fairey. "Dubya" is out "Barack to the..." is in. Change...is always a good thing...
