Washington (CNN) Shepard Fairey says he's run out of hope for President Barack Obama.

Fairey is a street artist who is behind the designs for the clothing line OBEY, was featured in the Banksy documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop" and is most known for designing Obama's famous "Hope" poster. Esquire magazine interviewed him in a piece published on Thursday where he talks music, art and Obama.

When Esquire asked Fairey if Obama lived up to his "Hope" poster, Fairey responded, "Not even close."
