I read articles that open my eyes to how horrible he is as a man. He does not allow artist to comment visually on his art but takes, takes, takes all he can from minority artists and photographers. If he thinks that fair use is creative freedom he should accept that artists will comment on his work visually and profit from it just as he does. NPR did not ask him about any of his contradictions and ICA did not either. He is a hypocrite and steals culture for his own profit and messages. He is a rightest selling a leftist message for his own fame and fortune. Support the ASL group in exposing this fraud. Please read and see what he does from the words of this man who has been critical of this artist, http://www.myartspace.com/blog/2009/02/shepard-fairey-sues-associated-press.html And the Supertouch article bashing Mr. Vallen is bogus. They only bash Mr. Vallen becauses Vallen is a true revolutionary artist and mentor of the streets. They do it because Mr. Fairey makes them money. http://www.myartspace.com/blog/2009/02/jamie-oshea-obeys-shepard-fairey-by.html Shepard Fairey should be called out on stealing from minority artists and for twisting the message of other artists.

Big money from the investments of a publisher and PR team have fostered media attention for his art. Hell, they now credit him as being the first artist to make street art and counter culture art mainstream. All I can say to that is SAMO.

I don't think Shepherd did any other posters for Obama other than the one above. Could you upload the pic you took of the poster so we could check it out? Hey Ruby, thanks for the comment.

ElBasha Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:56:40 +0000 http://www.huckmagazine.com/blog/shepherd-fairey-offers/#comment-2685 I have two of the Obama Hope posters and want to know how I can get those signed. Also, I volunteered at the Cincinnati, Ohio office in March and there was a poster of Senator Obama on the wall that looked very much like the Hope Poster. It has "Change We Can Believe In" at the bottom with a map and the name Ohio to the left of the portrait. I asked for the poster, and was told it would be on display at the celebration. Before I left the office, I took a picture of it, and a good thing I did because someone stole it from the restaurant. Is there anyway you would be able to research and determine if this is one of Mr. Fairey's posters. I have never seen another one like it.
