So, I'm pretty pissed off about the NPR interview with Shepard Fairey. For those of you who don't know, he's suing the A.P because they demanded retribution money for the use of copyrighted artwork which Mr. Farey flagrantly stole. He's actually suing them!

As an artist, who has had experience with art theft, I found this outrageous. And here's the kicker, in the NPR interview, they asked Mr. Fariey why he didn't even bother to acknowledge the original photographer of the famous Obama photo taken by Mannie Garcia, in his artwork, he replied, "I really didn't know who took the photo at the time, I just liked it. So I took it." and latter added, "and, I'm a fucking lazy ass art thief plagiarizing fucker, who's too lazy to do my research or credit people where credit is due." Ok, I added the last part, but here's my point.....

This is the same guy who did the Andre the Giant ‘Obey’ posters..... And then fucking littered the city with them! That's right, he's got a record. He's nothing more than a criminal vagrant, and I don't like him.

I hope the A.P makes him pay out the ass, until his balls bleed of bad checks.
