Since the start of this Presidential election campaign, Obama's face has been popping up all over the country's most urban areas, and not just on CNN or Obama/Biden posters. The Senator has been the subject of graffiti and street art in hubs like Chicago, New York, Seattle and Los Angeles. In New York, this work has boosted the popularity of some of New York City's now well-known artists like Shepard Fairey, David Choe and Chico.

The Obama campaign is responsible for some of the projects, since communications director Scott Goodstein contacted Fairey right before Super Tuesday to create some original Obama street art. The two men worked together to create a color palette for the work, and it was a huge success, selling out only days after going up on Fairey's Web site and going for thousands on eBay.

But some of the art emerges more organically, like the work of Yosi Sargent, who was never commissioned by the campaign. Sargent first tried (and failed) to write "OBAMA" on the famous Hollywood sign and then continued to drum up support for Obama among graffiti artists, who created murals of Obama's likeness. He has said that the campaign had no idea about the artwork before it was created.
