AP alleges copyright infringement of Obama image

Feb 4 06:56 PM US/Eastern By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - On buttons, posters and Web sites, the image was everywhere during last year's presidential campaign: A pensive Barack Obama looking upward, as if to the future, splashed in a Warholesque red, white and blue and underlined with the caption HOPE.

Designed by Shepard Fairey, a Los-Angeles based street artist, the image has led to sales of hundreds of thousands of posters and stickers, has become so much in demand that copies signed by Fairey have been purchased for thousands of dollars on eBay.

Here is the final batch of photos I took last month during the EU visit. Many new artist archives with this one, along with some submissions from "Submit" here on the site.
