Shepard Fairey Arrested ~ Boston
It’s happened before but not in a long while, and certainly not since he’s become the iconic artist behind the Obama campaign’s best propaganda poster.
LA’s own Shep Fairey has been arrested in Boston for “tagging”– possibly as retribution for the Lakers’ overtime victory in the “TD Banknorth Garden” a few days ago, or perhaps just because they suck. We were saving the above image for this years’ NBA finals, but once again the city of Boston has wronged us and we could hold our silence no longer. Say it loud, say it proud: BOSTON SUCKS!.

From my perspective in can it is my understanding that the “wheels of justice” will turn as they please. Should the good shepherd put his best foot forward and help the community regain art in a positive light through com service workshops? He is in the spotlight now, use it to be positive and embrace the power of art in life.just a thought, hate to see people get caught up in the jail System “it sucks the life out of you”.

I like Fairey. But why should some store owner or city have to pay to paint over or remove graffiti and stickers. What’s subversive to him one night is tax payer’s wasted time and money cleaning up the mess tomorrow.

I don’t think that dood puts his stuff on independent business owner’s or home owners places as a rule, like REVOK.
Most artists who have achieved that level of fame have morals about that kind of shit.

Consider asking a seasoned Los Angeles Chicano political artist like Mark Vallen his opinion of Shephard Fairey. Fairey might have gotten nabbed for the wrong action, but he’s been churning out political art, including his “borrowed” Obama Hope image, for personal capital gain. It;s nice to make money. It is nicer to use it to benefit the people rather than horde like a B of A.
