I'm about a third of the way through the artivle and the writers tone is so overbearingly superior that I am siding with Fairey on principle.
what a pompous dick.

Mark Vallen is simply trying to jumpstart his go-nowhere career by bashing someone who actually HAS one. It's a time-honored tradition among the second-rate and failing. The fact that he passed out literature-- including HIS OWN ART-- amongst those standing in line at Fairey's show ought to tell you he's simply an opportunist out to raise his own profile. If he were truly interested in constructive dialogue he would have picked up the phone and made the local call to Fairey to ask him about it. Then, if he wasn't satisfied with the answers-- or at least wanted to include them-- he could have offered up the other side of the coin. Instead, he posted a shrill call of "Look at Me!" in hopes of selling a few more canvases of his Jr. High caliber artwork. Pretty sad, really.

Thats an unfair comparison niko. All those guys were created something entirely new conceptually. Shepard doesnt seem to do that.

You can hate all you want but Fairey has put in WORK. He's probably produced more in a week than you have in your whole life mt.

People are allowed to critisize art the way they want to as long as its done smart, I love shepard faireys work but lets face it the kid is a biter, I mean I know that some people just get inspired and create something similar to someone elses work, or some references someones elses works, or re-invents something old but dude looks to be purposely searching shit out to rip off...how many time do you bite before its fucking biting and not re-inventing..hummmm?

it's called appropriation in the world of art and design, not stealing.
