Shepard Fairey is the creative force behind OBEY GIANT and countless cultural icons including the Barack Obama HOPE poster.

Eddie Donaldson aka GUERILLA ONE, originally from Louisville, is one of the first curators to recognize the value of street art and graffiti painting and bring it within the white walls of the gallery space and give it a respected place in the world of art.  He and Shepard Fairey have been collaborating for nearly 30 years.

As a tribute to his Louisville roots, Eddie Donaldson is working with Shepard Fairey to bring a new 7-story mural of Muhammad Ali to Louisville's West End. Beginning on April 21, 2023 the mural will be painted on the side of the Chestnut Street YMCA two blocks from Ali's Central High School.  The image is based on a photograph by Louisville's Howard Bingham.
