If you don't know who Fairey is, you should check out his work. Everyone's seen the '80s Andre The Giant "obey" sticker around at some point. But that's just a drop in the bucket. His art is really awesome to behold in person.
Today a different friend IMed me a link to this SF Gate article about Shepard Fairey and his exhibition, which you might like to read.
"I could teach any 15-year-old to do what I do," Fairey said. "I learned everything I still do when I was 15 - stenciling, photocopying, printing. But that's what punk rock is about. Your technical ability doesn't limit your ability to impact people. That's empowering to people; you don't need to be an impresario."
Enjoy!
P.S. - "The Duality of Humanity: New Works by Shepard Fairey" runs through Oct. 4 at White Walls Gallery, 835 Larkin St., San Francisco. (415) 931-1500
