If that was a criteria for greatness better erase Warhol from the history book....

and Hirst, Koons, Murakami, Prince... pretty much everyone after Jackson Pollock.

If you're talking about art making vs art directing I really don't even care about that.


If you're talking about "remixing" the trite difference between those guys and Fairey is that the relationship between Fairey’s work and his sources is that, "nothing substantial has been added." Not my words as I know you guys don't care what I have to say but the fact that Milton Glaser came out to say something about Fairey—which is a decision I don't think he would dare take lightly—says mounds about the quality of the relationship between the appropriated and the appropriator.

But hey if you guys can't see the difference good on you, ignorance is bliss...

I was being sarcastic dude, I know what you are saying!

But if I were to approach Shepard Fairey's work in a critical manner I would compare it to the work of Thomas Kinkade (as I wrote earlier in this thread). The singular images that both Fairey and Kinkade create aren't particularly powerful or ingenious. What is powerful however, is the pervasiveness of each of their brands as a whole.

I'm just saying it's nothing that special that it can't be imitated even by the likes of jboy

;D As if Jboy ever really cared about this. You don't know him at all. ;D

i do care, but have a job to do.. its very easy to do yourself, it just needs attention after you have posterized then live traced the image

always convert it to grayscale as you will get more defined edges.

you then unpick it all in illustrator, smooth the egdges, add some colour and texture

sign it and sell it to idiots that will buy anything

job done.

[curiousgeorge]

Assuming you have the relevant permission to do so, though as a professional I'm sure you are aware of that

[Karl Read]

Im just gonna leave it as i prooved my original point.
Secondly, i cant wait for the "shep" version to arrive.

[bullet]

permission does not matter unless you are commercially selling it.

tell that to half the stuff banksy posterizes and turns into screens.

plus i was given the image.

[curiousgeorge]

Read the last 2 posts you made jboy, then reply given that context. Planning on selling = permission needed.

Though I'm sure you would argue otherwise..

[bullet]

yeah the selling bit was a joke, never intended to do that
