FILE – In this April 27, 2006 file photo, a poster of President Barack Obama, right, by artist Shepard Fairey is shown for comparison with this file photo of then-Sen. Barack Obama by Associated Press photographer Manny Garcia at the National Press Club in Washington. Attorneys for poster artist Shepard Fairey, who designed the famous Obama “HOPE” image, say he based it on a photograph taken by The Associated Press and not another picture, as the artist had claimed.
