Shepard Fairey is a beast,,,but is a fucking sell out

True...
EL'YAHZAR 4 months ago

I disagree. He worked hard all his life with his art. And now, he's found a new medium and as expanded on it. Just because he was once all "rage against machine" type to polticial contribution, you can obviously see the difference in his work and attitude. Things change. Progress rigth? =)
Sydney Sharp 4 months ago

I hear a lot of people say that, and I want to know more about why they think so. Not trying to be a smartass, just genuinely interested in what you have to say.
thelukeandrews 3 months ago

ha! now the secret's out!!!!

btw.. how exactly does an artist "sell out"? By making some money? Fack it's not like he's doing corporate-looking work for evil medical corporations or anything..

If an artist is still free to keep true to their own style (and of course that might evolve), they can put it anywhere and sell it to anyone without "selling out"

So.. how mouch have you made lately with your art? Or are you still a waiter during the day?

yeah he knows photoshop! awesome! no one gives the photographer any credit though.
fannyd 5 months ago

this is what street art is, by definition. you steal and reinterpret your own way, I have no problem with that. love his work.
Nikio 5 months ago

Well, I agree with you Chuck, but we must acknowledge that the original photographer too got some more attention with Fairey's work. The photograph it self is stunning, but it wouldn't get so famous without that.
I was kinda strict about that, but after reading Lawrence Lessing's books, my opinion is softer. Derivate (remixes) works are cool.

Chris Simon 5 months ago

I luv this process. I remember an art tutor teaching us this-albeit on a far more simple scale. But you just cannot get the same deal digitally. I think mixed media, just like multimedia is best. Its great having some original layers done by hand first and then adding eight million more digitally.

nice piece.
N. Chamberlain 5 months ago

Another copyright infringement?
James Heck 5 months ago

his process is similar to my last art teachers, but he is a sellout, and his messages arent as strong, more a talented craftsman and graphic artist, but not fine art

That was fun to watch, I wish I had a studio like that. How does he get so precise with those patterns he uses?! Maybe he uses one of his assistants for that...
Chris Robinson 4 months ago

Anyone know what aerosol matte medium he's using to transfer the paper to canvas, you can see the back of the can at 29 seconds in.

Any help is appreciated!
kyle baker 23 days ago

he paints yellow on a piece of paper and in another shot shortly after that he sprays an adhesive on the stencil so im sure its some sort of wheat paste type mix

So sick of hearing people moan about Shepard, selling out and all this carry on. Get over it and produce some work of your own.

I don't really like his stuff, but I am glad to see that he doesn't buy into all this global warming/climate change nonsense!

Keep using those aerosol spray paints, my friend!
