People. Shepard Fairey
People. Shepard Fairey: Fecal Face is one of the best art sites on the web. Their plethora of interviews and well written articles keep us coming back time and time again. They recently posted an interview with Shepard Fairy - street artist and activist.
As reported on Fecal Face: "Back in the mid 80's there was a skateboard subculture growing fueled by punk rock, grimy skate magazines, and the youth who participated in it. Shepard Fairey was among them. For some it was a passing phase that lasted a year or two, for Shepard it became culture. He has moved from the early underground world of skateboarding and punk rock into the lowbrow counter culture world of propaganda street art and beyond. In his mid 30's Shepard Fairey is still holding true to his core punk rock values while applying it to his own street art campains, gallery shows and various other international art causes around the world. With dark undertones of pop culture irony, and underlining hints of hope and prosperity. You can not deny the timelessness of his work and the message behind it. "
