SHEPARD FAIREY’S INTERVIEW ON OBAMA’S POSTER ON NPR

Last night I was listening to NPR and they had a great interview of Shepard Fairey talking about the unofficial official poster of Obama’s campaign. Really interesting to hear the all process. Interview.

Did he talk about being proud - proud of being nothing more than a fuckn little thief?

No?

Why not?

He spent his whole life studying propaganda
He spent his whole life reproducing it.
Putting old propaganda back in the people’s face
We see it everywhere. wondered who was doing it.
He liked the attention. gave up the mystery gave up his face
We like him even more. we bought his reproduced posters
We wore his tshirts like the whores we are.
we funded him to keep spreading his message.
we thought he was speaking for us the people
we thought he was underground diy

he drops a dirty bomb on us. OBAMA
we like him even more.
other more major propaganda sources
call him person of the year
an icon-maker

Turns out he was a slave to the man all along
we’ve been tricked my fake magic
hoodwinked bamboozeled

SHEPARD FAIREY is a myth.
of medieval Scottish origin
from the Gaelic ‘O’Fearadhaigh’

FEAR

has a seal described as follows: ‘his seal bears a wolf or fox, crozier in paw and mitred, preaching to bird in tree, a dog and rabbit’.

a shepard gathers the sheeple and brings them to man

He tells us over and over to OBEY

SHEPARD FAIREY: OBAMAS MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA
AGAINST THE PEOPLE

This is mass brainwashing mind control at its finest

I don’t know who is more right with this story going around.

Should we say that warhol is not an artist but a stealer of work?
