bah humbug, he did a huge thing in amsterdam where his crew of 15 hipsters was wheatpasting, he was nowhere in sight for the whole day is what I heard, damien hirst's studio of apprentices comes to mind, it's all good though, I like Shep's stuff too

not his place at all to be painting there. given the historical significance of that particular spot, i think this is pretty arrogant. probably should have done his homework better and asked for opinions from the locals (not just the building owner). copenhagen's a big enough city that he could paint in a lot of other places. just my 2 cents.

"I can has paitedz a wall and gotted a kickin' by teenyBopz!"
- cries Fairey on the interwebI really couldn't give a toss Mr Shep.
I'm inclined to be more concerned about London Graffiti Artist Robbo who is lying in a coma in hospital after receiving severe head injuries after a kick-in.
Robbo is famed for his on-going tag war with Banksy as well as his artworks.- Investigating further... did not know about Robbo.Melanie
- he's actually out of intensive care now. http://en.wikipedia.…pizzafire

Don't know why so many of you hate him (actually I think I have a few ideas) but his work is not as bad as people make it to be. I like it. Yes, I've said it!
BTW, don't know if it is mentioned n the article, but he's had a fair share of serious and emergency eye surgeries, so I hope that's not an issue...
- Oh yeah, wasn't he supposed to be going blind? That's as ironic as rush limbaugh going deaf,
fooler - totally, people hate him because he is so mainstream, but his work looks niceMiguex
- People don't like him because he is a douchebag, poser with only a minor amount of talent.Dodecahedron

- seriously, I would like to know. Do you know him personally?OSFA

Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love, but I don't even want none of the above.
So what about Warhol? Takashi Murakami? Chuck Close?
They all have people working under them. He's capitalizing on a style, and profiting. Good for him.
Sucks he got punched in the eye, but you have to punch a few people to make an omelet.
