Because he is a sell out and he profits from other artists... 90% of all his work is Google Images with Photoshop apps. He takes a few images and a few words and calls it Art!! Name one poster he didn't rip off from other artists or something under his own work like drawings - You cannot!
I'm not at all interested in him copying other work and calling it art. I'm more interested in him promoting the oppression of government in his earlier work, plus implying defiant graffiti, and then to turn around and promote big government. I wrote an essay about him and his work for art history and he's still a mystery to me.
dude, art isnt always just about originality, its about sending a message that can appeal to most people in the world. You gotta do with what you have..
I agree Neumn13, but when an artist uses someone else art or message. They must give credit to that artist in the description but fail to do so.well it is called plagiarize. This is not Shepard Fairey first time getting called out and getting sued over copyright images.
Plagiarize \'pla-je-,riz also j - -\ vb -rized; -riz·ing vt [plagiary] : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (a created production) without crediting the source vi: to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source - pla·gia·riz·er n (From Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 9th ed, Springfield, Ma: Merriam 1981, p. 870).
well, that's true, but if you've noticed, most of the pictures he uses arent really that famous...thats why he uses them cuz he knows he wont get into "much" trouble for using them. Yeah hes used some famous ones, but when you look at them does it really matter? Most people dont think so...
So you're admitting he is using other peoples art to profit for his own gain? I really think people do notice this issue, but they're be hide the scenes of the art world. It's always the new young people who don't see this issue at all and they're blinded by someone who is in it for the wrong doing. Let me take your "Portrait Drawings" and profit from it and see what you think - you'll notice.
damn. you got me lol please dont do that. its just that when you look at his art its something completely different. Wether or not you like his art, or Fairey himself, he's really not trying to be the bad guy. He just wants to express his word. Nobody's done anything serious with him for his "plagirizing", but we'll just leave that to the officials. I dont wanna make this "debate into something more than it should be. Like one of his works syas, "Make Art, not war"...
I am not making this into a war - lol. I am giving you the option to research your thoughts and think on your own. I believe to many people start to like things because they're on TV/Media/News and god awful MTV. People seem to become a sheep that follows an entity without question. You should watch the movie called "Network", you may like it.
i have done my research And as an artist i do think for myself. Im not some random ignorant citizen that follows whats in "the now" to fit in. Im simply saying that Fairey's work has a great impact on people. The people arent concerned about what pictures he used to make his work. That's not important. Leave that to the officials. Its not like he's laughed in peoples faces about using their works. He's actually complimenting them by doign so. Anything after that is up to the original owners.
Last April, Fairey mobilized his legal team to send Baxter Orr a cease and desist order threatening legal action against him for a parody of Fairey's Andre the Giant design, adorning it with a SARS mask and the title "Protect Yourself."

hey I'm new to Shepards work and i really like his stuff. I know most of his posters and art are only limited release but is there a site with some of his posters/art for sale? it would really help me out.
