Flyer/Poster Art, Graphic Artist
Shepard Fairey is probably best known for his "Obey" pseudo-propaganda campaign as seen not only in hipster bars of Seattle but also in select locations worldwide.
Not everyone will agree on whether or not his art is great, but it certainly does make for a good conversation vis-a-vis the famous old question "what is art?". Check out his site and tell me what you think.
How his work came to light is an interesting story, I suggest reading his manifesto or some of the articles on his site, a fairly comprehensive Wiki page is helpful as well.
