DOPE

I've been inspired by the fire ignited by Shepard Fairey's Hope portrait of Obama. I even went on ebay to try to get my greedy little hands on a signed and numbered original, knowing that some day this would be worth much much more. But as i did some research about the creator of the poster, and then his philosophy I quickly realized that purchasing it on ebay would just be wrong. So In the spirit Fairey's mischievous philosophy, I printed my own by downloading the file from his website. Then I went ahead and created a bootleg version of it with my  skatebording little brother, Alfredo, as the subject matter.
