After all the widespread attention he received with his Obama portraits, the SMITHSONIAN is now pushing for a giant fine art version of SHEPARD FAIREY’s iconic portrait of the now-president elect BARACK OBAMA!

Holy shit! That’s epic! Besides his work portraying the most monumental election in the history of the U.S., he’s going in the SMITHSONIAN. You’ll hold on to those Fairey pieces if you know what’s good.
