Shepard Fairey, who grew up in Charleston, painted a number of murals around the city as part of a 2014 show at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. This one is near the Daily coffeehouse on King Street.
Shepard Fairey left Charleston, South Carolina, after high school, but the artist still pops up in his hometown, even when he's thousands of miles away. He appears at College Lodge, a dormitory at the College of Charleston. Outside Groucho's Deli, a corner sandwich shop. And across from the Daily, a coffeehouse that sells honey lavender lattes and feta toast.
"Three murals are still up — two on King, one on Calhoun," Shepard said of the public artworks he created for a 2014 show at the College of Charleston's Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, six years after he designed the campaign-defining "Hope" poster of Barack Obama. "There still aren't a ton of murals in Charleston because of the historical preservation, but I think the appreciation for street art is growing."

Shepherd used to skateboard behind my sisters house on King Street, back when Charleston was a big, small town.
