Shepard Fairey's TIME Magazine Cover Features Occupy LA Protester
Legendary street artist Shepard Fairey designed the “Person of the Year” cover of TIME magazine, but he had some help. The image of the protester was based on a picture taken by local photojournalist Ted Soqui. Unlike the Obama poster debacle, ths photo was fully licensed for use in Fairey’s artwork.
Soqui tells of shooting the photo on his blog:
I took the photo at a protest at the Bank of America building in downtown LA. There was a small group of protesters linking arms and making a human chain around several tents near the front of the building.
