"Shep rips people for art"?
ARE YOU FUCKING HAVING A LAUGH?
Who's t say what he's doing is 'for art' and what the other is doing is 'for cash' Fuck off with your sychophantic bollocks.

Then we bring in the whole thorny issue of weither or not what he does is art or something else.
Personally i think his stuff would look ok on a students wall, in between a poster of Marx and Ché. thats a first year student though, trying to impress their peers with how much they know. Right before they get their hole for the first time.

haha that's some shit, what a fucking hypocrite. I could see if the guy was doing something similar and put 'OBEY' on it, but his product is so far from Schleps it's not even funny. So now anything art or design related can't use the word 'Obey' in any of the messaging? This is too much, I hope he falls on his own sword and the AP sues his pansy ass.

Not to mention his logo is certifiably a Barbara Kruger rip.
Uncle Milty doesn't even like the chap:
http://www.printmag.com/design_a…I ponder if the wretch ever had an original idea of his own. By the simple fact that he's been clinging to the same tired style for the last 15+ years seems to suggest he kinda fell into it in the first place. I guess I can see why he'd hang onto his 'brand' for dear life, he's got nothing else in the tank. Creatively and morally bankrupt.
- Didn't Barbara Kruger take all her aesthetic from the Constructivists?

Man, I swear to fucking god. If I ever meet this cunt on the street, in a bar, in a club, wherever the fuck I see him, I'm going to jail.
I am so fucking sick of this little snotty prick.

Seriously though, I wish some of these old artists, or organizations that own the charities and rights to some of these old pieces of art he's ripping off would come out of the woodwork and put this motherfucker into BANKRUPTCY.
I'm so fucking sick of this little whiney bitch. I want to curb stomp his faggot face.

Funny that Fairey rips everyone else to make a buck and sues everyone for ripping off his work that he ripped off.
Hey Fairey GFY

I really would have absolutely no beef with him if he would just shut his fucking mouth and continue to do what he does. If you say his style is old or played out, that's fucking great for you, you're probably just jealous you don't have your own style. I think what he was doing for a while there was great, and I really looked up to him as someone who made it.
Call it ripping off if you want, I call it détournement, and I don't mind it. But when you flip the coin and start acting like some sacrificial lamb, you've become a bitch.
I honestly wonder what his close friends think of him behind his back. Probably think he's a fucking bitch.

Wow. This guy is unbelievable.
- gung_hoek0
apparently Obey Giant Art Inc. sued, not fairey.
- gung_hoek0
maybe he´s busy tracing shit, while the managers of the merch unit just went by the book, protecting corporate assets and so. I doubt that he would be into daily operations there.
- Josev0
Oh, come on. You really think he has no knowledge that his company is suing this guy?
- Point50
“Threepeat”
now the fun part: kick back and wait for Pat Riley's lawyers to give me a call.
- gung_hoek0
well, I bet he´s got quite a schedule; exhibitions, pr-appearances, his actual work, yadadum. If I was in his position I surely wouldn´t want to personally ok every cease and desist that´s being put out. it´s not that they are suing for damages, not a high profile decision really. so I doubt that he knew about this, the guy is not an idiot.

Is this a fucking joke? The people who made the movie "They Live" should sue Fairey. What a funcking cunt. He rips off other people, making a living from it, break the law, and then does this. Fuck him, he deserve the diabetes he has.
