'paints'... lol
i gotta be a dick for a sec - but collages/stencils are NOT PAINTINGS...
... they're FUCKING COLLAGES with SPRAY-PAINTED STENCILS.
Why not just build the fucking thing in photoshop and output a big-ass poster?
And they've become tiresome shitty art that 'everyone' is doing these days...
...whatever happened to the traditional action of 'painting' such as fucking up a canvas like Bob Ross?

1. Find a piece of original commercial art from a bygone era.
2. Scan and trace in Adobe(R) Illustrator(R) software.
3. Make adjustments to outlines and colour.
4. Promote and market new piece.

im far more sick of all the bullshit moaning critics of Shepards than posts about him..
enjoyed the vid, & looks like he really enjoys what hes doing, looks a fun process.

The video is actually pretty cool. He has a certain talent and craft that he is really good at. Love it or hate it. If you want to equate "real talent" with fine art painting, doesn't that sort of undermine the work that most of us here do? Art is Art. Someone who is not necessarily artistic can go to a fine art school and become an excellent painter by the time they graduate. It can be learned like any other skill....doesn't mean people will like your work though. So I don't really see how you can use that as a measurement of artistic talent.
The same thing is happening with music. All the mashups and remixes that make up modern music are just rehashes of stuff that was created years ago. You could argue that it's being "ripped" and takes less skill, but it still takes talent and is an art form in itself imo.....just in a different way.

^ I'd agree that there's something innovative (or once was something innovative) about the 'post-modern' mash-up. It's irreverent in the best way, ensuring that only the best of each borrowed-medium is used as an ingredient. But it's also too often used as process because it's so easy to participate. There's still something about the process that makes me feel that we're being short-changed. I don't want societies' output to constantly dumb-down and pander to my short attention span.
I remember reading a review of 2manyDJ's when it first came out which likened the album to a McDonald's milkshake -> lovely at first but makes you feel a bit sick if you try to finish it. I feel the same way about Mr Fairey's work.

not that i really give a fuck, but blankly stating that the use of any specific technique (stencil) in applying paint to a surface (canvas) is not 'painting' is narrow-minded, retarded, and simply incorrect.
- I'm all of the above... and I'm also a painter I guess. :)– PonyBoy

part of me wants to hate on it just to agree with the masses here, but I can't. Not only am I incapable of that proces (I'd have no clue where to start or finish... or what to do in-between), but I do like the final product. I might not like everything Fairey does, and I might yawn a bit when he gets on his soapbox, but I thought that was a pretty cool short video.

Its true that theres not much skill to the artwork he does and anyone can borrow from the classics.
I'm sure that most of us creatives on here could knock up the same sort of stuff if we had the time to do so. I've done a few stencil canvases in the past few years, one is a 'fake futura' that I did for myself cos I like his work and wanted a big canvas for my livingroom.
If I had the time then i'd love to do more stuff like that, and definitely jealous of these guys who can do this kind of work fulltime and make a living from it - doing work that YOU want to do and being your own client rather than having to deal with the crap that us commercial designers have to deal with lol.
- sounds fair enough.. better that making shitty logos that you dont want to make, and doing shitty flyers for omnicorp...– jimzyk1/3
  .. or someone...– jimzyk2/3
  OMG, omnicorp is your client?!– Point53/3
