O and ur opinion doesn't matter cuz wen u apear in front of a judge no matter if u was writting,stencilin,wheat pastin its all considered vandalism to the city.
good maybe then hell stop making played out shitty stencils and acting like he's actually down with anything related to graffiti
shepard fairey has been doing this his whole carreer. this is actually not even close to how hard he bites shit. he literally cuts and pastes all his stuff: http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm make art not photocopies
i dont give a fuck about the cities point of view. smashing windows and kicking mirrors off cars is vandilism too. would you call that graffiti? good find jet
I'm not tryna compare em even tho I did get off topic but wat I'm tryna say is y shud u care n talk shit abt obey for wanting to make money wen msk n cope doin the same thing.
holy fuck, what was your mom smoking when she was pregnant? im done with this. you must be fresh off the boat an illiterate or some shit.
and another thing, obey doesn't do any, i mean ANY of his work in the street anymore, in boston before his big bullshit museum show a ton of obey work went up and 100% of it was done by street teams with permission and the whole 9 yards. I personally watched different groups of dudes put up posters in 3 different sections of the city in the same day. homie won't do shit that doesn't end with him getting a fat check anymore
like my n+gga nasty nesar would say [Broken External Image]:http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9669/n6703305329969wn5.jpg
I dont really give a shit about the subject but I just thought I should leave this here http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm This proves that OBEY has never really created his own images I understand he uses old propaganda in his art and that that is his style, but I dislike how he passes everything off as is own and never makes is own fuckin images (except for Andre) Im not here to fight, just show evidence to let retards fight
Actually he got arrested the night before Obama's Inaguration for wheatpastin in DC......so yeah, I'm not on anyone's side, just putting it out there. It was in the Boston Globe...big article about him and the Obama-Change poster thing.
Damn...I guess its easier to talk shit wen ur on the computer then in person..I gotta finish my piece b4 it rains tomorrow Peace..
Jetpack I know what you're saying with him not actually writing. He does deserve a lot of credit though. He's probably the most up street artist in the U.S.. Even if a lot of it is through other people, he's still extremely accomplished. And still very talented even though he doesn't actually write. One thing that makes me like him a lot more is even though he's famous, he still destroys. It'd be so easy just to kick back and enjoy his riches. But he's still committed to the streets. And computer rock I agree with you but you're not going to get through to many people with fucking grammar like that. You could be the most intelligent person in this world and be completely ignored because it looks like you typed with your dick.
how about Shepard being on a USA commercial lol http://www.usanetwork.com/characterapproved/honorees/fairey/video.html the way i look at it... its not biting, its just how it is... i mean tons of street artists and artist take ordinary shit and change it up... and in graphic design... you kinda need a picture to make a vector... so thats what he did
Im sure Shepard Fairey has plenty to do than get on a forum with a bunch of 15 year old wanna be graff writers. Half of you guys don't even write. Just cuz you're on a graffiti forum doesn't make you a graffiti artist. I don't recall Shepard ever saying He was a graffiti "Painter". Street art is street art whether its painted, stenciled or shit into a little pile next to a Starbucks. This does not apply to everyone on here. I know a lot of you are legitimate writers. The rest can Fuck off. Art is everywhere you look.
