Street artists and fine artist David Hollier has made innumerable portraits of political and pop figures in the last couple of decades – often with their own words, and often with stunning capturing of their likeness. Today on President’s day in the US, we give you John F. Kennedy.

He had been discontented with the press coverage of the Bay of Pigs incident and spoke of a need for “far greater official secrecy.”
