Thanks, Dajjal, for making me first aware of this commie-propagandist/creep, Shepard Fairey.

Great thread! This guy should have been a major scandal to the Obama campaign long ago! Earlier threads about Shepard Fairey:

Here is the url for a recent Fairey exhibition, "The Duality of Humanity."

He says he is more optimistic in his outlook now, because of Barack Hussein Obama.

"With this show, Shepard touches upon, but also goes beyond the 'calls to action' against mindless consumerism and war evidenced in previous shows like Nineteeneightyfouria, E Pluribus Venom and Imperfect Union. "The difference between this show and the previous ones is that now the optimism of a potential Obama presidency is in the mix," Shepard said. His recent work reflects his own personal shift towards a new optimism, a direct result of his involvement with, and inspiration by, the powerful political ideals of Barack Obama."

Yeah, I'd call that being more optimistic!

BTW, his book, E Pluribus Venom is finally out.

Shepard Fairey's latest exhibit is in Washington DC right now -- but it's not him alone, it's with two other artists.

This is my "favorite" painting from his new book (no, I didn't buy it -- I looked through it in the store).

My interpretation: The bloom of peace, brought about by communist soldiers and bomb throwers in the background, is edging out the influence of Amerikkkan imperialism, despite the attempts of an Amerikkkan soldier to poison it with his venom.
