Last April, Fairey mobilized his legal team to send Baxter Orr a cease and desist order threatening legal action against him He's a bit more sensitive when it is his images that are being "repurposed." An Austin, Texas, artist named Baxter Orr made a parody of Fairey's Andre the Giant design, adorning it with a SARS mask and the title "Protect Yourself." The Austin Chronicle has the details.

haha wow i think some ppl are way to passionate about how much they hate sheperd fairy! and how much they think hes not an artist! lol get ur heads out of ur asses plz

art should be pure - uncompromising - provocative, and i believe shepard fairey's work has something to do with that. but dont look at his work in the terms of art, look it as design (and that's far from art). the medium is the message, he make things happen and that's what matters.

I never changed my argument, I always stated that it is what the subject perceives. I don't know Lichtenstein enough to know that I care. It just says a lot about the artists philosophy if he doesn't create. I would not feel comfortable using this "post modern practice" BS. To me it is just commercializing others work, which holds no meaning to me. Again subjective, but personally I still hold that Fairey's work is meaningless. Not worth looking up to.

Commercial acceptance is worthless.
