Shepard Fairey's Obama Portrait

Created during the campaign, Shepard Fairey's portrait of Obama is an iconic image, and it's currently hanging on the first floor of the National Portrait Gallery. I stumbled across it last week, and have to say, it didn't look quite like I expected. A mixed-media stenciled collage, you can't see from the image above all the newspapers that form the base, but up-close you can even read them. It's so ubiquitous, that it's kind of anti-climactic when you see the real thing.
