Shepard the Giant

Yesterday’s Boston Sunday Globe ran a lengthy feature on Shepard Fairey [RISD ‘92, Illustration] and his upcoming retrospective (opening February 6) at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. This is just the latest in extensive coverage of Shep and his work - the presidential inauguration last week drew even more attention to his iconic Obama posters, which entered the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in time for the January 20 festivities in Washington. Also in the last 10 days or so Shep has appeared on the The Colbert Report and with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air. Congratulations - again! - Shep!
