Personally, I think Shepard Fairey is nothing more then a hack. He stole the image of Obama from the photographer that created it. Let be clear about that! He did not create the image himself. He stole it! He had no right to it, in any way shape or form! All he did was put a photoshop filter on someone elses work, and then called it his art! Am I missing something??? What a bunch of crap! He’s a hack!

Mr. Fairey actually got a lucky break. His art wasn’t well known until he posted it in the right place, at the right time – as my color theory professor told us, who is also a street artist.

Taking the face of ‘Andre the Giant’ and making it into the ‘obey’ poster was an interesting idea. But his work is always going to be debated, the same way that we still discuss Van Gogh’s missing ear. Which is why people who say he will be forgotten are wrong.

Btw: Tom’s Taco’s on Beach Blvd. around Anaheim are the best. Any place else is fail.

He is a whore.. his “art” will be forgotten in a couple of years.. the original works and icons he steals from will remain forever. Cultural leech!!

This guy is so full of himself. His art had an effect on the election? are you kidding me? it may have sold t-Shirts and prints but seriously folks this guy isn’t some political force hes a guy that repaints images simple. You act like hes the next Worhal.

wow, alot of people are talking trash… well i went to his show at the ICA in boston, and i as an artist was very impressed. it’s hard to even see all the detail in his artwork, even by looking at it for hours, you can always pick-up on something new everytime you see it

an artist is always inspired by other art. Art can be anything, including your surroundings.
And who really doesn’t “copy”?
Everyone can’t be original. We all get our ideas from something else, whether it’s a window, a dog, another artist, etc.
I like his artwork, and as an artist, I look up to him.
btw, didn’t he get arrested today or yesterday for graffiti?

“sell out” is another word for “jealous.”
it’s such a tired phrase.
a successful artist is a beautiful thing. like 1991, the year punk finally broke.
