Well, wait a minute. Please quote me in instances of “trying to spread misinformation” and “suggested false information.” Do you mean because I stated Fairey wanted to stay famous and turn a profit? I know it’s harsh, but why must it be false? “Hard proof” you mention. But can you disprove those motives are not involved? Can this fact not coexist with Ernesto’s excellent contributions and motives?

And Nezua,
I am fine with your critique of the artwork. No one has a place to tell anyone else what is aesthetically pleasing. What I don’t like about your article are the claims about the purpose of this artistic venture, of which you have no hard evidence about and have flat out suggested false informaion. It is fine if you don’t like the piece or even Shepard, Ernesto, or Zach for that matter. Just don’t start trying to spread misinformation that the whole operation was simply driven by a single factor, profit.

1) nope, i don’t see his name anywhere on it.

2) ernesto is a talentless schmuck for creating work that looks so distinctly like shepard fairey’s, student or no. nothing original about making your work match that of your teacher. not impressed.

and really, shut up because your arguments are false and ridiculous. why not just accept that not everyone is gonna like it? why is it so hard for you to deal with people dislikeing it? i don’t have to like it, nezua doesn’t have to like it. last i checked, part of artistic freedom is for others to be able to say they aren’t impressed by someone else’s art. whatever. grow the hell up.

You are on moderation so I can be sure your comments stay still long enough to be replied to without changing.

I don’t “admit” to it. Because if you read the post, I never claimed otherwise. You sound like a damn cop, chill. I simply write of the image, which I posted next to it. Which I got news of on a list serv, and presented in the manner I told you already. I have not misrepped myself. And I dont have any reason to revise a damn thing yet anyway.

If you actually read the last comment, then I have no need to repeat myself. Rest easy, mister commenter. Life will all work out. Be easy! Take a walk, get some air. Thanks, really.

I came here asking a simple question and you took an adverse tone with me so snide is as snide does but in the end it works out, since now you are interested in finding out the real story about this print.

Peace

Nonetheless, you’ve got me thinking, and I thank you for that. In fact, my next post will thank Shepard for overseeing such projects, and in all honesty, herding us fwd with his helping hand into the era of a new black prez (HOPE) and finally, immigration reform. I think the commenters above such as yourself are right and really we all ought to be grateful for the man’s work. And dammit, I’m not afraid to say so.

Peace.

Maybe becuz (look up) it’s not on it? I don’t have one in my hand? I never claimed to? Because it was introduced to a “brown” list serv as “Shepard Fairey”s new poster? Because that’s how people are talking about it?

Mix n match. Seriously.

Feel free to address the other points I made, if you like.
