Shepard Fairey's, "Barack Obama," a mixed media collage will be on view at the National Portrait Gallery by Inauguration Day. Fairey's large-scale, mixed-media stenciled collage was the central portrait image for the Obama campaign. (AP Photo/National Portrait Gallery, Barack Obama by Shepard Fairey , Shepard Fairey/ObeyGiant.com) Fortunately, I got one of these through the campaign during the North Carolina primary!



Enjoy these images and enjoy the Inaugural of President Barack Obama. As Rod Stewart says "Every Picture tells a Story don't it."
