Does Shepard Fairey really support "fair use"?


Larkin Werner's 'Obey Steelerbaby' next to a poster by Shepard Fairey.
 
 
UPDATE: It appears that Shepard Fairey has dropped his cease-and-desist order against Cafepress and Larkin Werner's Steelerbaby store. My sources tell me it was dropped on March 10th-- days after my post about the issue.  Shepard Fairey's legal team had suggested that only he can use the word 'Obey' in a work of art. These are the same people who sent Baxter Orr a cease-and-desist letter in 2008 over the issue of "fair use". Does Shepard Fairey honestly support "fair use"? Or does he only support "fair use" when he is the one working under it? Thoughts? In his recent interview with NPR he stated that he is going against the Associated Press in order to uphold the rights of artists who work under "fair use"-- doesn't that include his work as well? After all, Obey Giant is known the world over and has been around 20 years now. In my opinion the image is open to "fair use". Thoughts?

Only the Giant can be Obeyed?


Larkin Werner's 'Obey Steelerbaby' next to a poster by Shepard Fairey.

Based on Shepard Fairey's recent statements you would think that he would fully support artists using his widely known images under "fair use". After all, in the NPR interview Fairey suggested that his lawsuit against the Associated Press is important because he views it as standing up for the rights of artists who create art that is protected under "fair use". However, Shepard Fairey has a history of threatening artists with legal action when they utilize his famous artwork under "fair use"-- even if the artist did not willfully infringe. The most recent situation involves graphic designer Larkin Werner and his Cafepress store. Fairey’s representatives claim that only he can use the word Obey in artwork and designs. Read More:

The War Against Copyright-- Take Action!

Freedom comes with a price-- that price is following the law. Every aspect of our freedom is regulated to some degree. Why should visual art be any different? Some people want the freedom to use paintings, photographs, and other artwork created by artists for their own work. Most artists want the freedom to protect their works from that use. It is a delicate balance. Shepard Fairey crossed the line-- he went beyond the implications of “fair use”. The people defending him, Lawrence Lessig, Anthony Falzone, and others have a history of advocating extreme interpretations of “fair use”-- interpretations that if followed would make copyright void.

This is not an 'AP bullies artist' scenario. Remember that Shepard Fairey has infringed on artists in the past and has stomped on "fair use" as well. Don't forget what this is really about. Remember that if we allow this to continue it will open the doors to corporations using any image they find without the risk of compensation.

A campaign against Damien Hirst


A collage by Cartrain.

The story involving Damien Hirst and his copyright infringement allegations against a 16 year old street artist-- known as Cartrain-- has taken a twist. Several influential UK artists have joined forces in order to defend Cartrain. In doing so they have targeted the contradictory nature of Hirst’s decision to seek legal action against Cartrain. After all, Damien Hirst has allegedly infringed on copyright himself-- in one case he settled out of court due to copyright infringement allegations.

The battle charge against Damien Hirst has been spearheaded by Jamie Reid -- widely known for creating the Sex Pistol‘s ‘God Save the Queen‘ cover art, Jimmy Cauty -- a former member of KLF, and Billy Childish -- co-founder and former member of the Stuckists.

Another artist lacks integrity


I have a low opinion of people who lack integrity-- especially artists who lack integrity in regards to their art and the message they convey within it. There is nothing worse than an artist who promotes an idea visually when in reality he or she does not support the message that he or she is conveying to viewers. I learned from Edward Winkleman’s blog that another artist has been exposed for lack of integrity within the context of her art-- that artist is, Maureen Mullarkey.

James Rosenquist: "Painting is done with a Paintbrush"


Intellect Seeking a Worm Hole, Oil on canvas with mirror, 66 x 59 inches (167.5 x 149.9 cm), 2007. By James Rosenquist

Interview with Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls

Amanda Palmer. Photo by Beth Hommel

Amanda Palmer is the lead singer, pianist, and lyricist/composer of the duo known as The Dresden Dolls . Palmer describes the musical style of The Dresden Dolls as "Brechtian punk cabaret". One could say that Palmer, along with Brian Viglione, helped to spur mainstream interest in dark cabaret-- an underground music movement that started gaining momentum in the early 1990s. Amanda Palmer offered her time to answer a few questions about the influence that visual and performance art has had on her musical direction. A big thanks goes to Beth Hommel for being instrumental in the interview process.

Interview with Aidan Hughes


Aidan Hughes, also known by the pseudonym “Brute”, is a commercial artist from the United Kingdom. Aidan usually works in a very high contrast style, often black and white, but more often black and white accented with one other color.
