It’s a time-honored tradition among the second-rate and failing. The fact that he passed out literature– including HIS OWN ART– amongst those standing in line at Fairey’s show ought to tell you he’s simply an opportunist out to raise his own profile. If he were truly interested in constructive dialogue he would have picked up the phone and made the local call to Fairey to ask him about it. Then, if he wasn’t satisfied with the answers– or at least wanted to include them– he could have offered up the other side of the coin. Instead, he posted a shrill call of “Look at Me!” in hopes of selling a few more canvases of his Jr. High caliber artwork. Pretty sad, really.

How does a company like PSFK - who claims to be progressive, by promoting fresh ideas and creative thinking - endorse such a fraud? Have you totally lost touch with the meaning of "art"? When respected curators and artists like Mat Gleason and Mark Vallen are speaking out with outrage against Shepard Fairey & everything he represents, how do you even conceive having Fairey as a guest speaker? As a role model to aspiring young artists? Or as a spokesperson for innovation to fellow entrepreneurs? This is UNHEARD of. Shepard Fairey has polluted pop culture, and is single-handedly ruining the visual environment as we know it. His speeches are redundant and meaningless. There is NO message. You are giving a platform to someone who does not deserve this big of an audience, or this much credibility. Let it be known that any bit of information that Fairey provides, be it through seminars, vanity books, videos, etc... is nothing more than shameless self-promotion. As Mark Vallen stated so eloquently in his critique about Fairey: "It should make obvious that anyone so ill-informed should not be in the vanguard of today's political art".

They have a certain pride with their work and really don't venture off into other opportunities. I believe Shepard Fairey to be a wonderful balance of everything. And I think balance is one thing we all need. A lot of the artists I know have this invisible fight against most things mainstream.
