Fairey is a regular during Art Basel in Miami Beach and has left his iconic red, black and white collages on Miami’s Wynwood Walls, the artsy Wynwood Kitchen & Bar and has murals in cities all over the world.

Fairey “has always applied many of the principles of classic propaganda,” said Miami spray-paint artist Claudio Picasso, also known as CP1. “Often times he appropriates old propaganda images and mixes them in representations of pop icons.”

Time’s Ebony Magazine published Fairey’s Trayvon portrait on its May magazine cover in 2012 and the portrait was all over Instagram and was seen in protests around the country through the summer. Fairey’s work has also been seen during Occupy Wall Street protests.

Fairey is a self-proclaimed student of "the teachings of political propaganda," Picasso said.

Fairey said he wanted “to emphasize Trayvon's humanity as well as the public outcry for a just investigation into his death.”

So who did the Prosecution hire to recommend his choice in attire?

Investigate that. Put the prospective juror under oath and ask him. Remind him about perjury sentences.

An artist named FAIREY, from Miami Beach, hmmm. Also I understand the “community activists”, poverty pimps and their lo-info rent-a-mob were demonstrating while wearing hoodies. Wearing hoodies. In Florida. In June. I wonder if they’re gonna blame Whitey if any of them collapse from heat stroke. What do these a**hats do for an encore? Skinny dip in Lake Michigan in January?

Graffiti is not art, it is vandalism.

And the drunk/drugged/deranged stripper who got kicked out of the Duke Lacrosse team frat party, who falsely cried rape to try to avoid a DWI...did she get a Fairey mural?

Is an artistic image now more important than factually based truths and justice?

Zimmerman killed Martin. That fact is not in dispute.
How Zimmerman killed Martin is also not in dispute.
One shot from a gun.

Why did Zimmerman kill Martin?

Well since our POTUS has already weighed in with his opinion, we can all expect the NSA to provide all the cold hard facts they need to back up the POTUS , right?

The sad thing is, that the "Obey" that Fairey uses was stolen from the 80s movie "They Live". The little douche doesn't have an original thought or capability of his own. Everything he "creates" comes from someone else, with him putting his own color scheme to it.

The red and blue Obama picture was a regular photo before he "created" it.

Case in point: Fairey “has always applied many of the principles of classic propaganda,” said Miami spray-paint artist Claudio Picasso, also known as CP1. “Often times he appropriates old propaganda images and mixes them in representations of pop icons.”

OBEY is stolen from John Carpenter's movie “THEY LIVE”.

Shepard Fairey also stole his iconic phras “THIS IS YOUR GOD” (appears where there is money in the film).

Mr. Fairey also steals imagery (actual images, not just composition) from Communist and Nazi propagandists.

He illegally (and has others) posts his work around cities.

He was one of the libtards behind the Bush=Hitler meme.

He later became Obama’s propagandist and illegally posted works (and stole the AP’s copyrighted photo) to scampaign for his Marxist godhead.

Obama was aware of Mr. Fairey's history and illegal activities and applauded them in this letter.
