Designer of Obama Hope poster donates prints to fund British anti-war movement

THE creator of the iconic Obama Hope poster has donated art for an auction at London’s anti-arms fair exhibition.

Shepard Fairey is giving away three of his prints to raise money for a protest gallery set up to counter next month’s Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) jamboree in London.

Military delegations from some of the most repressive regimes will attend DSEI, which is one of the world’s largest arms fairs.
