"There is a great quote from John Paul Getty -- 'Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil.' Our next artist, Shepard Fairey did just that. With persistence that has been described as obsessive Shepard's seemingly ubiquitous Obey Giant campaign struck a nerve and catapult him into what some have described as the godfather of American street art. Joining me on starge, please welcome Shepard Fairey."

Awesome. Only in America do people believe so dearly in Che Guevara, and socialism that they will fight so hard for the government to run everything, but then go out and deface what the government has erected, in the name of "plagiarized art", leaving the government to spend more money to clean up or remove the posters and stickers. This is why outside of academia most "liberal elite" can not really produce. The problem with socialism, is that eventually other peoples money runs out.
Seriously people, go out and do this. He didn't sit on youtube bitching about what other people were doing, he was the one doing.

Well with his work is just your interpretation of it and what he wants you to get out of it: and i think the best way to sum it up is what he says at 2:50
His work confuses me. Setting to the side the plagiarism issues, I would never use Obama's image as a great thing and then have other work patronizing Big Brother. But then again, using Obama's image along with Communistic and Socialist propaganda does make sense. ?
