Creator of Iconic Obama Image Speaks About His Art

submitted by Duckman33

1 decade 5 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

YT:
USA Network has announced the winners of the first-ever Character Approved Awards to honor individuals from a cross-section of creative disciplines who are positively influencing American culture. This years winner for Art is artist and street art sensation, Shepard Fairey. With a one-of-a-kind style and keen eye for design, Faireys unique approach to spreading art among the masses blended the worlds of pop culture and politics this past election cycle in a way no one could have ever predicted. His iconic HOPE image of President Barack Obama became a national sensation, recently being dedicated in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian. For more information on Shepard Fairey and the Character Approved Awards

although i enjoy alot of graphiti , the problem is that no one can say there work is better than sum one else , so if you are going to say its alright to graphiti on public property then you are saying people with (what most people would call) shit tags are just as valid in graphiting on public property as those with reli nice tags and stencels.

i mean granted in a public art galery alot of the work is "shit" depending on who you are and what you like but its in a isolated space so its not like everyone has to look at it all the time,

maby towns could have designated tag walls with different categories for usage. 1 is a free for all 2, vote to keep , 3 specialist commission

This "artist" is also in deep shit for stealing the Obama image in the first place, and never even bothering to contact the original photographer.

Shep went on NPR and lied about the ordeal, saying he and the photographer struck a deal, when in fact, the photographer had never even spoken to him.

Shep has made millions off of stealing other people's work. He did an entire series of Black Panther paintings, all images stolen from copyrighted work. If I were an enterprising copyright attorney, I'd be scouring through everything this assface has ever done, and starting a very large class-action against him.
