Shephard Farey

I really think that he did not know that the poster was going to be so popular. Regardless, this is not the first time he has done it. I heard the NPR interview and he did not answer if he had made a financial gain from doing the poster, because of the pending trial with the Associated Press. He is walking a real fine line in terms of fair use and appropriation. These pieces of work are in different mediums, but their context are very similar.

"I don't get permission. I just do it." Shepard Fairey. You probably don't need permission, but you're gonna have to start citing your sources.
