  "What initially disturbed me about the art of Shepard Fairey is that it displays none of the line, modeling and other idiosyncrasies that reveal an artist’s unique personal style. His imagery appears as though it’s xeroxed or run through some computer graphics program; that is to say, it is machine art that any second-rate art student could produce.

  In fact, I’ve never seen any evidence indicating Fairey can draw at all."

  pffft, what difference does that make? this sounds like some of the bs that came out of an open forum we had back in art school where the painting students and faculty refused to aknowledge the digital media program as "real art" all while paul pfeiffer sat with a bewildered look on his face like wtf am i doing here.

  • This was my real beef with his critique, too. His "drawing skills" aren't really the issue here, and it discredits the rest of the arguments!– anzelina
