    Shepard Fairey apology re: Associated Press Fair Use Case I’m just shocked and disappointed with how this turned out. A lost hope in the argument for “fair use”… A detailed apology and pdf is available on ObeyGiant.

    Above is an example of Michael Surtees’ notes from the sold-out talk at the NYPL last week between Shepard Fairey, Lawrence Lessig, and Steven Johnson. In his blog post, Michael Surtees notes that the dialogue during Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy failed to give much attention to opposing points of view. Disapponting. Both sides here have plenty of relevance to today’s artists and designers, especially students. (via DesignNotes)

    an update to this post: Shepard Fairey Sues the A.P Over Obama ImageMilton Glaser on Shepard Fairey and Plagiarism(via Print) A new article in Print magazine brings to the surface many of the gray areas of fair use, plagiarism, referencing, and appropriation. In Milton Glaser’s opinion, “…For myself—this is subjective—I find the relationship between Fairey’s work and his sources discomforting. Nothing substantial has been added…It’s a dangerous example for students, if they see that appropriating people’s work is the path to success…”If infact Shepard Fairey’s usage of the Barack Obama image was not “fair use”, this will open up further questioning on much of the design and illustration work taking place today. I’m always in strong favor of people giving credit where it’s due, but when money comes into play I have mixed feelings. This doesn’t feel like a criminal act to me. What do you think? The image grid above shows the Marcel Duchamp profile image Milton Glaser refers to in the Print interview. image credits below: top left: Marcel Duchamp.

    It’s not as fun as Simpsonize Me, but Paste Magazine has set up the site Obamicon.me as a homage to Shepard Fairey’s now iconic Obama support posters.
