His own words: "I created the Obama image as a grassroots tool solely to help Obama get elected president... I am glad to endure legal headaches if that is the trade-off for Obama being president."
There it is, he's happy with the outcome. Let it be.
- seems shep is suffering from "Puff Skull Syndrome". Obama would have won regardless.morilla
- this is just an excerpt. go read his blog for the full quote .prophet0NE
- Puff Skull Syndrome, hahahahahahahahaha, to funny.Not_Ghey
- it's crap. he's the master of his own spin and you bought it.zenmasterfoo
- Horp0
^ Oh please do me a favour and rethink the value you seem to place in that statement... do you believe Obama would not be president if it weren't for his posters?
- no shitmorilla
- of course not. i believe SF believes if it helped at all then the resulting legal nonsense is worth it. that's all.prophet0NE
- He may rethink that when he goes to pick the soap up in the shower block.Horp
- maybe.. more likely they'll just fine his ass instead..prophet0NE
- It's not the picking up of the soap I worry about Horp it's the violent and unconcetual ass sex I am worried about.chossy
- maybe it won't be unconcentual... let's not jump to any conclusions.prophet0NE
- True, hey shepard pick up the soap yo!. Shepard says, sure but why don;t I apply some to my hoopchossy
- and you guys can just go nuts down there on you go woooooooooooo!!!!!!chossy
- this scenario is not an impossibility.prophet0NE

i have to say that onenine you are dead to me, and so is all of your friends... i re looked at this thread ...dont ever cross my path!!!
take that how ever you like... in the end im still here... coming at you full strength... wanna vandalize me too?? you are pathetic!!!!!!!
- juhls0
I don't believe in getting rid of graffiti altogether. A lot of it is beautiful. Obviously I don't think artists should be allowed to vandalize any type of property and get away with it, but I would prefer a middle ground.
- with art, there is no middle ground. and there's no crying in baseball.prophet0NE
- I knew someone would say that...juhls
- Part of putting art onto buildings isn't just about the art though. There is some adrenaline factor as well.juhls
- omg jaline if this is considered beautiful than cuntface on your building would be too!!! yay!!!!!e-pill
- omg yay!!! lets hear it for cuntface grafittti...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!e-pill - its the same as a obama poster or a obey crapfacecuntface... all equally not appreciated!!!!!!!!!e-pill
- i hate you shepard, i wish i can meet you face to face so i can, hold you down and tattoo body!!!e-pill
- im in brooklyn where real new yorkers live!!! so bring it!!! you and your onenine friends!!!e-pill
- fucking vandaliszers!!!!e-pill
- and jaline no vandalism is acceptable period!!! no grafitti is acceptable period!!!e-pill
- you call him an artist because he spoke at QBN sessions!??!!?
fuick that!!! its nothing!!!e-pill - he is just a vandal!!!e-pill
- wake up jaline!!! i hope so!!e-pill
- version30
grafitti parks like skate parks, "express yourselves in a self contained bubble we can monitor you in" i think that's part of the problem as the perception of grafitti is negative with or without desecration as depicted in this video posted by e-pill

I'm only interested in what the consensus among creatives is regarding the Obama poster specifically.
Plagiarism yes or no?- I say yes.Horp
- I think technically no. did he pass it off as 'original' work? no, he admits he sourced it from Google Images.prophet0NE
- ...hence his legal trouble.prophet0NE
- google images?!?!? hahahaha
an answer for everything from his fans!!!! you are all dead to me!!e-pill - i'm not a fan. take an e-pill.prophet0NE
- yeh take my name!!! but i still have mad anger against you!!!e-pill
- ok.prophet0NE

- thanks man.prophet0NE
- oh monoblanco your site is really nice and i like your art.e-pill
- yesNot_Ghey
- any professional photogs here would agree on the appropriation of the photo without permission as theft.zenmasterfoo
- SteveJobs0
this is so stupid. he used a photo. a fucking photo that took the original photographer less than a second to shoot. the shot would have never been remembered if it weren't for fairey and his work that indirectly helped fuel a campain.
pride and greed... pride and greed.
- its about vandalism not about stolen photos!!! let him win his lawsuit aginst that photo...e-pill
- i like his art to an extent... but dont bring it to my property!!!!e-pill
- e-pill!!!! they're on your property right now!!!! get away from the vandals!!!! get out asap!!!!prophet0NE
- more exclamation marks!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!prophet0NE
- I had to get that out...prophet0NE
- nah its cool!!! hahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...e-pill - he is cool he owns a company that is a fruit so i think he is fruity!!! yay!!!!!!!!! vandals suck!!!e-pill
- what a moronic statement "less than a second to shoot" idiot...Not_Ghey
- The most idiotic thing posted here.zenmasterfoo
- prophet0NE0
SteveJobs, this may be completely true. But what if it were your photo? And you thought it was the cat's ass? What would you do?
- +the infinity numbere-pill
- plus that poster got him accepted like its normal and so he can do all that vandalism he loves!!!e-pill
- +∞version3
- i hope he tags on your grandparents house!!! like he or his fans give a crap!!e-pill
- true enough.prophet0NE
- yeh exactly what version3 said!!!
plus we hate you on top of it!!!
:) brooklyn hates you shepard!!e-pill
- SteveJobs0
i don't necessarily have a solution. if it were my photo and it was used without permission, i'd probably seek royalties, i'm just stating people are fucking cunts with their greed.
as for the vandalism - again, give him 10k hours of community service to help restore what he damaged? i don't know, but don't give him a goddamned pedofile's sentence! jesus fucking christ!
- pedophile, even.SteveJobs
- true, excessive. but i'd want to protect my work somehow, seek royalties at least. i think we all would?...prophet0NE
- as for vandalism charges... that'll be strictly letter of the law for him.prophet0NE
- hmm over the last i dont know how many decades... he vandalized my area...e-pill
- that equals a pedofile sentance...
what say you?? he gets life of artistic ability so he can what???e-pill - tell me what that what means??= what does he get? wake up!! its vandalism with no remorse!!!e-pill
- oh to cap it off he gets a presidnetial pardon?? i didnt vote for shepard... or his poster!!e-pill
- to quote SteveJobs...
"jesus fucking christ!"e-pill
- acescence0
the cognitive dissonance here is palpable
- you and your big words.airey
- it think alot of us have mixed feelings about the issues of copyright here... some are full metal jacket about it.prophet0NE

"...one of the most recognizable and influential artists of our generation." watever
- akrokdesign0
he's never going to get 87 years in prison.
but he might get a tooth brush to clean up his mess. lol.- i'd pay a dollar to see that.SteveJobs
- only a dollar! lol. damn, oh well. there always 99cent store. hah.akrokdesign
- i take paypal. lol.akrokdesign
- SteveJobs0
sorry, i overreacted. you guys make some fair points. i'm just an armchair activist fed up with our justice system.
- well, that system...its good for RICH AND CELEBRITIES. no working class people.akrokdesign
- there's nothing armchair about activism. you either are one or pretend to be.zenmasterfoo
- yeah, see that's called sarcasm... meh, whatever..SteveJobs
- JoseGonzalez0
Any angle you look at it, it SUCKS to be him right now, there are many artist who have big legal problems right now, such as Ket, And i believe GKAE is still in prison, Its still their (justice) system.
87 years is too much, im not saying he should get any time.
He shouldnt.
- Not_Ghey0
Shepard deserves 87 years alone for stealing other peoples copyrighted art, photography and design. Then he has the balls to sue people for stealing his stolen work. He will become someone's bitch prison, or be part of the "Chick of Day" thread here on QBN.
What a tool!

"the most recognizable and influential artists of our generation"
- You are joking I hope, no pun intended.
- KwesiJ0
he's facing prison for vandalism though right not copyright infringement? first i heard of the vandalism thing, is there an article about it somewhere?
