James Dillon Wright (born May 29, 1979), also known by the stage name Dillon Boy, is a contemporary artist, graphic designer, toy designer and illustrator. He began private lessons at the age of 9, and made his first professional sale at the age of 14. He currently lives and works in Italy. He is reportedly inspired by artists involved with the street art and pop art movements, such as Banksy and Shephard Fairey.<ref name="Jetcomx"/> During the 2008 Obama presidential campaign, Dillon's work was included alongside Fairey's stylized stencil portrait of Barack Obama, known as the Barack Obama "Hope" poster. His own portrait of Barack Obama, titled "The Blue Knight," used acrylic, spray paint and oil markers. It was featured in the same TIME Magazine Person of the Year 2008 article that featured Fairey's Barack Obama "Hope" poster on the cover. |
