Is everybody in the world biting off Shepard Farey these days?



I mean just look at this shit! Either Virgin is biting off him and he should sue, or he took a payday. Either way, it's exactly what I've been saying...I suppose it's nice that his work is getting notice, but a little piece of me dies when grafitti goes corporate.

shepard fairey owns a design firm/ad agency... and since he is pretty much limited stylistically to "one-trick" (albeit a lucrative "one-trick") a lot of the work they put out looks like this.

he is a big part of the reason graffiti has gone corporate.
