Lot of comments on Shepard Fairey and how he’s ripped off everyone in the world! People should take a look around at the world of post modern art. People are influenced and incorporate art that comes before him. Shepard is appropriating graphical design elements of all kinds of propaganda – corporate and state. That’s part of the point. And that’s part of the point of a whole trend in art. This is just a quick response to some of the comments. But healthy debate is good – and eveyone has their right to their opinions. Still think there’s more things to be upset about in the world.

Wall and Piece – Australian Press & Screenings
THE AGE, Australian press for BOMB IT:
RESEARCHING and shooting footage for his documentary on modern street art, Bomb It! The Global Graffiti Documentary, took filmmaker Jon Reiss around the world. There was a rooftop in Berlin on which he spent a night, after the graffiti artists he was shooting became convinced plain-clothes police were down the block; an encounter with the English police in Sheffield, who thought they’d uncovered terrorist activities; even a journey into the sewers of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, that ended mere minutes before a flash flood filled the tunnels in which they’d been shooting.
