uhhh....yes....that was the whole point of warhol. the whole campbell and brillo boxes and repetitive silkscreens. But the man is an artist, he's much more than a tracer....the actual campaign itself is the work of art...not the imagery.

You apparently don't know much about this guy do you...?

As far as the whole intro about not having developed idiosyncracies as other artist do, I can recognise an ORIGINAL work by shepard that I've never seen before instantly by his style and color/texture schemes. side note. Is Warhol a plagarist for painting a Cambell's Soup can? I hope not. Fairey is revitalizing classic and unknown images to a modern audience (many are spoofs on Soviet and communist propaganda). I would have never know about many of these images other wise. Perception is key

yes, I've read it. The majority of the article is absolute bullshit in the aspect that it enlightens on only ten or so posters that ARE SUPPOSED to be remakes of the original propaganda poster, photograph, et cetera. Fairey has many, many times more original artwork, just because he thought an image was interesting and had some cool elements and decided to make a poster doesn't mean he's trying to pass them off as original artwork.

google: "plagiarism obey", click the first one, you'll know what the talks about.

what the hell are you talking about?

What is so great about this guy? He steals other peoples images, adds them to some "cool" background and claims them as original artwork? His color choice is good but that aside- stealing other peoples work and claiming it as your own is bullshit.

probably some fast drying water based ink. youre have to cure plastisol ink and the heat would curl that paper up pretty quick.

yes exactly. a screen per color/layer, ya know.

ilfessa (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

for every layer, do you need a seperate screen?
