Shepherd Fairey: proving once again that fifteen minutes of manipulating someone else’s photograph with Photoshop filters will indeed produce some of the most banal, predictable images imaginable.

Someone tell me what’s interesting about it, I’m missing something.

I hope Obama is our next president, but I just can’t get over how wrong those posters look.

I’m tempted to make an “Emmanuel Goldstein” poster of Bush’s face in counter-propaganda style, to be pasted up across the street.

I hope they don’t post these in Massachusetts. Up here, we seem to have issues with signs that are rigged with LEDs.
