  The problem with this kind of stuff in general is that the willingness to excuse it is totally subjective.

  Is Fairey's work artistic enough to be given a pass? I guess it's well executed, but I have trouble seeing it as art, I view it more as hipster culture commercial design.

  Is Banksy's? I guess I could see that as more artistic than Fairey, but who am I to say?

  What if some 14 year old spray paints "CUNTFACE" on the side of a building? Is that better or worse? Why does Shep get a pass and the 14 year old not?

  Ultimately I guess the best approach is to not get caught/ remain anonymous if you really want to do this kind of stuff and continue to get away with it.

  • SF is not going to get a 'pass'... some feel that he should though. that's the point.– prophet0NE
