‘Hope’ poster designer feels Obama is ‘not pushing hard enough’
By ANIMonday, June 7, 2010
WASHINGTON - Shepard Fairey, who created US President Barack Obama’s iconic ‘Hope’ poster for presidential campaign, seems to have lost his faith in the leader.
He feels Obama hasn’t done enough to fight the evils of corporate America.
“Some of the works are about gridlock in Washington. Wash ington is too inter twined with corporate America . . . I had a lot of hope for Obama, but it’s not panning out. He’s not pushing hard enough,” the New York post quoted him, as telling Angeleno magazine.
Fairey is also being sued by the AP for using the agency’s photograph for the poster. (ANI)
