Justin Hampton attended the 'MANIFEST HOPE: DC' Inauguration Art Exhibition along with Shepard Fairey, Ron English, David Choe, Sam Flores and countless others. Shepard's publisist, Yosi Sergant, caught note of Hampton's 'That One: History' image that he designed in support of the Obama campaign and invited him to take part in this incredible showing. Justin presented a 5'x5' painting on canvas of the image for the exhibit. Here are some of the highlights.
