Shepard Fairey is a street artist that has become a hit because of his two-tone print of Barack Obama with single words “hope” and “progress.” But Shepard Fairey has a long career as an underground artist. He’s worked for The Black Eyed Peas, Showtime television network and even mass-marketer juggernaut Pepsi. His work is no longer underground either, joining others whose street art marks urban walls.  Fairey, along with artists like billboard hacker Ron English and British graffiti artist Banksy, has helped elevate street art, changing public perception of such works. Instead of vandalism, street art increasingly is viewed as a radical art movement worth preserving.
