Good news. Now he can draw for whomever makes him a bride in jail..

IM STILL LAUGHING

I *HOPE* (pun) Fairey gets the Max, his pants sued off and is left homeless - and he can keep the *CHANGE*.

Any Photographer who uploads anything on the Internet, from Photobucket Contests to a Facebook page, can be violated by scum like this Fairey. I was just surprised that the AP photographer took so long to realize his work was ripped off (info from old article on this).

My Nikon imaging software automatically embeds MY Copyright Info in the EXIF data of all my Photographs. It's implicit that I have all the rights to all my work product (Photos) -- period.

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.
