Shepard Fairey & Obama's Cult Of Personality

I have been very curious about Shepard Fairey's relationship with Barack Obama and the background behind the ever-present 'HOPE' poster.
I have long had issues with Fairey's motives in co-opting radical imagery and no one was probably more responsible for feeding the Obama hype as Fairey.
This SuperTouch interview has Fairey explaining the story behind the Obama posters and how much money they raised.

I don't dig this dude's perspective but he has a very interesting collection of Obama images showing his depiction as almost messiah-like.
