Democrats know that socialism is unpopular in America. So they have to lie, like Socialists always do, to sell the agenda. They cannot win in the arena of ideas. They cannot debate.

It dawned on me this morning that, should Obama become the winner in November, Fairey will not disappear. He’d probably become some sort of “Artist Laureate” of the administration. Could you imagine him being the Artistic Director of the Inauguration ceremonies?

Thanks for the pings Dajjal. Shepard Fairey’s graphics are eye catching and he uses a lot of red which is appropriate considering his ideology.

They have a certain “Peter Max” quality to them and I loved Peter Max waaay back.

You really are an artist. ;o)

Red is my favorite color, and I had a Peter Max T-shirt that I loved.

VERRRRRY INTERESTING. The hyperlinks for many of the Fairey posters has changed.

Meaning that the exact examples aren’t visible now.

Actually, the hyperlinks have not changed. Fairey's "Obey" company has just blocked FreeRepublic from hosting several of his JPGs (though apparently a couple have still slipped through).

So for my most recent Fairey thread I took the precaution of creating a Photobucket folder of his posters.

Viddy well, O my brothers and only friends, viddy well:

Here's another Amerikkka-hating "friend of Obama."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2018880/posts
Obama's On-the-Wall Endorsement ["Obey Obama"]

Shepard Fairey is the artist who designed the official fund-raising set of Obama : Hope / Change / Progress posters, like this one:

Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints



Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."

truth will out.

What kind of socialist posts his posters on public streets and private businesses without consent and then doesn’t want people to discuss the content of his Communist hailing work?

LOL!!!

I guess the same kind of hypocrite who cares more about his own property rights than the (intellectual) property rights of the people he plagiarizes.
