ART: Shepard Fairey. "Occupy Protester" and Person of the Year prints go on sale

“Occupy Protester” prints of the Time Magazine “Person of the Year” image that Shepard Fairey created will go on sale some time in the morning on January 12th. If you’d like one of the 450 $60 signed prints, you’ll need to sign up for his mailing list, or perhaps just start refreshing your browser obsessively when the 12th rolls around.

All proceeds go to the Occupy Wall Street movement, but there is no question Fairey is a huge commercial success. Good for him.

The print is based upon a photo taken by Ted Soqui of LA Weekly of an LA Occupy protester named Sarah Mason. Rachael Christine created the image comparison above.
