Artist behind iconic Obama poster faces six months in jail
Obama's Feds want to lock poor Fairey up. There's gratitude for you.The creator of the Barack Obama 'HOPE' poster has pleaded guilty to criminal contempt for lying about the photo he used to create the image. Shepard Fairey said he made a 'terrible decision' in 2009 to destroy some documents and fabricate others in a lawsuit about an Associated Press photograph he relied upon to make the poster. Fairey entered the plea in federal court to the misdemeanor charge, which carries a maximum potential penalty of up to six months in prison. Posted by: tipper 2012-02-25 |
