Obey Art Fraud!


This week the one and only Shepard Fairey comes to town with his urban art show to Boston's own Institute of Contemporary Art, dubbed the 20 year retorspective. It begins this Friday, February 6.

I missed out on the VIP party this past Tuesday with Shepard's alias DJ Diabetic droping beats at Good Life. I guess these things happen.

But the man has been making headlines all over the place from his iconic Obama image that catpulted Obama's popularity in the Urban Markets! The AP alleges copyright infringement of Obama image that he used on his Obama HOPE poster.

Fair use or copyright infrigement is still up for debate.
