Do me a favor and read the excellent write up on phoney "Obey" artist by artist Mark Vallen @ www.art-4-a-change.com.
It's sad to see you buying into Fairey's need for "street cred".

Your link doesn't seem to work man. I'd be interested in seeing the article. If you can repost the link, please do.

That's bad ass. I normally don't dig that super-fragmented style of lettering -- it often seems like they're trying too hard to take whatever to the next artistic level, when ultimately doing so ruins what's unique about graff -- but this collab is damn sweet.

What's really sad is that people buy into "Mark Vallen's" Obey/Fairey bashing campaign. Art is about self expression not brush strokes. Yea Fairey's images are taken from other sources but with the use of color and slogans he makes it his own to convey his message. He puts it up on the street to provoke a thought, an emotion, or maybe just a "hey isnt that andre the giant?". The average person walks by graffiti and says "how ugly." same person walks by Fairey's Obama poster and a whole chain of thoughts run through their mind. in that way his art is more powerful than most.

fairey just rehashes images that are already ingrained in our minds, thats why you stop and say "wow"; not because it's good but because it's a total ripoff. using misfits logos/skulls and ramones emblems as your own is not art...it's marketing. fairey is an excellent marketer but he is not an artist imo.
