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.

this has nothing to do with art... it‘s craftsmanship, it‘s decorative shit fueled with a lame political message that is meant to be provocative but actuelly everybody can agree upon (weapons are bad (use a stencil of some dangerous looking weapons) pollution is bad / big companys are evil (use a stencil of a whale with a coca cola can in it‘s blowhole) do not forget some surveillance cameras here or there

shepard fairey is the thomas kinkade of my generation
- if you knew kinkade, you'd take that back. kinkade is a cock sandwich.spifflink
- fairey is only half of a cock sandwich who produces decent results himself, without resorting to paying people to paint for him.spifflink
- one in the same my friend - one in the same... nothing to do wtih production... Michelangelo has an entire school working for himidentity
- had*identity
- but you're right - i've never met Kinkade... don't mean to slant Fairey on those terms...identity
- Michelangelo having schools of students working for him, not the same as kinkade's factory full of elderly ladies.spifflink

eh... I don't know... anytime I get to see somebody's process I love it... no matter how bad the outcome, you can always learn something about your own work, whether it be what to do or what NOT to do...

IMO.. he's taking the time to do something creative (yes i know some will object to that) but he's working and as far as i'm concerened it looks friquen fun. good for him and may he live long and prosper.
