You can stop rubbing your eyes now, you read that headline correctly. That’s right, miraculous as it may seem, Supertouch’s own SHEPARD FAIREY was named one of GQ MAGAZINE’s “Men of the Year.” Selected for his Obama campaign artwork that helped push the Big O to the finish line the grimy wheatpaste street rat is now rubbing elbows with other men of the year Barack Obama, Leo DiCaprio, Micahel Phelps, and Sean Penn. Looks like Shep’s gonna have to step up his couture game and fast. Don’t think those Ramones shirts are gonna cut it anymore, buddy…
