Today at Reichwing website Big Hollywood there is an article calling the peoples artist and the man who has inspired us all, Shepard Fairey, a liar and thief. You say liar and thief, we say Prog.
In the comment section I followed a link to Art For A Chance which chronicles Fairey's plagiarism. Although I was aware of Shepard drawing inspiration from existing works of propaganda, I was shocked to learn the extent of it.
It appears Shep is no different then some of us here at TPC. He's not an artist at all, like me he's just a hack. Or are we all artists now?
Examples:
Shepard





Maksim




Since Fairey's work is often featured in art galleries across the country, it begs the question. When will The People's Cube get a gallery showing?
