Shepard Fairey is a talentless poser. Any and all aesthetic quality in any of "his" works are from whomever he has stolen that piece from. I'm overjoyed to see the karma catch up with him as one of his sources sues him. I hope he gets taken to the cleaners. ROTFLMHO!!!

This thread is a good place to learn who Shepard Fairey is:

Obama’s Venomous Artist-Fundraiser

Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints



Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."



The political messages in Fairey's art are:
1) Communist dictators are god-like supermen
2) The United States is a police state at home and an imperialist oppressor abroad
3) Capitalism is an evil system based on greed and exploitation
4) Ordinary Amerikkkan workers are guilty of blithely supporting an unjust system
5) The only good Americans are those who fight The System
6) The communist Peoples' Armies will soon triumph over Amerikkkan imperialism and bring peace to the world out of the barrel of a gun.

I wonder if any of the other images were taken from other people’s work.

I crosslinked to your article, to keep them together. After looking at more images from your article, I wouldn’t doubt that he has used other’s work before.
