But what about credit where credit's due?

Shepard Fairey is an icon in my sub-culture. He is a rolemodel for kids like me. He inspires in a positive way. Make art not war!

“I find the relationship between Fairey’s work and his sources discomforting. Nothing substantial has been added.” - Milton Glaser

In this case, a picture IS worth a thousand words, and what a refreshing and inspiring young man Shepard Fairey is. In my post-60s obsolete opinion, he is the real face of hope in this country. Intelligent, visionary, artist-activist. For all the weak imitations of human beings out there, he is a breath of fresh air. Take care of yourself, Shepard Fairey. In the vast treasury of human potential, yours is extremely encouraging.

Extraordinary talent combined with intellect and passion. Hopefully his work is included in art curriculae across the nation. As a former art teacher I recall so many gifted students that faded..owing to finances and lack of exposure. From the 'easiness' of the interview Charlie, you can probably count a few young talents from your own varied life. Thank you.
