Shepard is a homie

Shepard Fairey always has an authentic perfect answer to everything in every video we have of him very authentic man overall I apprecaite with his fame that he didn't become fake.

I like Shepard. He's articulate and intelligent.

this guy's words are as poetic as his art

i thought mr brainwash was a living banksy piece for a while

it's easy to criticize. It's harder to critique. most people think they do the latter.

Finally, a rational person on the topic.

Everyone here is just a little too obsessed - Especially the one calling them sell outs- Let these dudes get MONEY!! quit being a hater spray paint is not free- and one's time comes and goes - just because your broke don't mean everyone else should be too

Shepared fairy is a street artist not a graffiti

Shepard has his hand in all art forms, it's amazing! He even did the artwork and released Ashtar Command's new CD on his Obey Giant label!

@rudeboytony Hey, thanks for that tip on Blek Le Rat. I had actually seen some of his work back in art school some years ago, but I never got his name. Then I got to know Banksy and started wondering if this french guy really existed or if I had just mixed the two up in my head. Now I know. You made justice to him, at least in my head :)

I member sheps Art in the 90's under the bay bridge (that face ..that Andre the giant face lol man I never knew it was Andre the Giants face )

I'm chiming in late without reading all of the many comments, but I personally like Banksy's work. I'm a 60 year old guy from NC, USA but I have always liked art in all of it's forms. This is art. It should be protected in my opinion. Before I learned about Banksy, I had played a PlayStation game named Infamous Second Son. It was about going around city's and tagging turf among other things. If you like Banksy's work, you should check it out!

also, your mural looked great....after btm and al crew ragged it!!

2020 anybody?

Met Sheppard in San Fran back in 1999, he was nice.

Very impressed by Mr. Fairey, he is articulate and very down to earth and very talented.

cool interview

Just because his stuff gets preserved by the city doesn't mean it isn't graff, bro. It just shows that Banksy's stuff is actually enjoyed by people because it's something different. It's clever, it's original, and it represents something. It's not his fault that the city actually likes it.. There's just a lotta hipsters these days that are really mainstream and easily impressed by bad and good things. Such as Mr.Brainwash being the bad things, and Banksy being the good things..

its time we all re-invent ourselves,my philosophy is "why live life if your not living it the way you want

Banksy is fior me an amazing artist. A lot of his work is incredibly clever and portrays what modern life is like very well. I used to live quite close to Bristol so I saw a lot of his work a lot of the time. He's great.

Banksy has elevated the standard of truthful reflections of the self and your place in the world you share with others, and it hurts sometimes.

@darselparsel obey is his brand. all his art

watching and studying Banksy. Im baffled by the thought that even Robbo and Shepard and probably half of the artists in the world knew who Banksy is, but none ever came out on TV and exposed him, for Me that's what respect is all about. They knew its important for Banky not to be exposed and they could have earned a lot but they chose not to.

I like Banksy because people have told my his art is good. I like the feeling I get when I agree with people and it's nice to be part of a group. Just because his style and the majority of his ideas have been borrowed doesn't mean he isn't the best. Ronald McDonald didn't invent the hamburger but McDonalds is one of the most revered burger restaurants in the world. People who doubt Banksy's authenticity are forgetting the most important credential in street art and that is how much people are willing to pay for it

Mcdonalds burgers suck as does banksy

i remember him on fotolog he was nice

Banksy acknowledges that he's inspired by Blek the Rat. Also Blek the Rat and Banksy are friends and want to collaborate.

Look bro, I understand Banksy has a lot of concepts and styles like Blek Le Rat, but Banksy just happened to develop that style as he was starting and finding his own style. He was and is probably more than aware that he has the same stencil style as Blek Le Rat. But the meaning of the stencil is much more important than the resemblance of Blek Le Rat's work and Banksy's work.

@alicequayle4625

Жыл бұрын

Stencils have been around a long time.

I think that Banksy is trying to draw attention to issues that our society tries hard to ignore. I don't agree with everything he has done, especially in his past. However, he is my favorite artist right now, by far. Shepard is a cool, well spoken and intelligent guy. Just don't like how many people just focus on their art and their message so much.

banksy is a real artist bro as is shepard fairey

Does shepard fairey paint?or does he just wheat paste?

.....no i believe i based it off the documentary in which blek, robbo, and banksy's (and i think some local law enforcement in Britain) opinions all were stated. i also used banksys work (which i already said i like) to form my own opinion on banksy. and in comparison to bleks work, some of banksys work was clearly influenced by blek, close enough to where i think it was almost copied.

Check out Egypt Through The Glass Shop

Conceptual Art!

I think Bansky created all of Mr.Brainwash artwork but was too pop art to be Banksy’s art, so Mr.Brainwash was created to get it out to people.

the prank is that all that shit is real and true, a mirror up to the fickle world of art, not only street, since the lines are blurred there between different contemporary art.

Brian Lehrer = living legend

Also, how original is art?It's as original as the artist.Do you want the art to reflect you, the times, or the viewer.What is beneficial as a whole? Mostly the most effective art is the one with social impact.It depicts what's best for all.Art with a voice, art that creates human improvement.I think most people would want to make such art.If you know someone making that kind of art today, send me a message and tell me who they are.

Anyone watching this should watch OBEY GIANT. This guy done it his way.

I have an original shepherd fairy, he's cool i guess. I got it from a friend who he gave it to. They had a falling out.

@wilduhhh Yes, I did. He was obviously a character "made" for the film, to make a statement about the current state of the art world, and how manufactured it is. Yes, he exists, but hes OBVIOUSLY been created by Banksy for the film.

Shep is educated and intelligent . He speaks well. I have over 20 Banksy pieces.

you do know the piece was already covered in tags right?

He didn't know Blek Le Rat.. he started out stencils close to the same time and the concept isnt so original that it would be impossible for other people to come up with it, no one person started stencils and everyone else copied or anything... and His artwork itself is nothing like bleks, they just both use stencils.. using the same medium is not copying or stealing. Banksy is a lot smarter than blek also

yes you're right. I think.

Does anyone else REALLY like Shepard Fairey but just not really dig his work? I like his old stuff when he first started out but not so much his recent work.

@epohnopulse no he's not there was a pic of the real banksy in a newspaper a few years ago

i mean sure, but he REAAALLLLLLLLLYYY couldve been a ton more original. theres a difference between being inspired and just changing a minor detail. but like i said, banksy has had some pretty dope shit

The black hills are not for sale

@xxRawrRawr "exit through the gift shop"

If you're digging the artwork of Banksy, you'll probably dig the work by the artist 'LIES' which has sick work in the three Church Of The Subgenius (Funny ass books for a made-up religion)by Ivan Stang. I think he's the artist named 'Heart Ignition' in the third most recent book. His work is modified clip-art/ hand drawn/ photocopied...It's fucking genius stuff, not street art, but it's hillarious and demented in the same vein as Banksy's stencils.

@Rankmoistmeat thers no way, there styles are completly diffrent in there in 2 completly diffrent locations

TEAM ROBBO!!!!!!

for some reason Sheppard reminds me of Henry Rollins, like the grandaddy of punk and the grandaddy of pasing

Are you guys kidding me? Mr. Brainwash isn't an actual artist. He was made by Banksey for the film.

@Luke139 there is no way to not conform

Banksy is a artist =)

Exit through the gift shop

Well, I'm sorry, "Mate", I was just assuming that you were talking about Banksy's work not being original since most of the internet seems to accuse Banksy of stealing the same stencil concept from an other similar, older street artist named Blek le Rat. Also, if you really expected work like this from a 15 yr old, then why don't we see millions of repetitive artwork up on the streets?

First off it was a tag not art. Robbo does mostly tags. Second it was already covered up by other peoples tags before Banksy got there. Lastly it ended with Banksy putting up a tribute once Robbo fell into that coma.

misterandylink Not true Robbo had way more technical talent than Banksy. He could make a beautiful portrait with just cans no stencils. He was not just a tagger. I still think Banksy is a genius. Banksy's talent is his clever subject matter. His work just speaks to people. I wish he'd done a little more to be unique. But let's face it there's a whole generation of artists (myself included)are biting blek le rat. I just think its BS that you dog Robbos spray skills. Robbo had sick skills. He was a king. You need to learn your history before you talk.
