Shepard Fairey is America's darling, ever since that Obama 'HOPE' poster. The AP looked like jerks when they complained about him stealing their photo. But! Fairey will sue your ass for stealing his brand, quick. See, if you try to sell anything featuring the word "Obey" you are totally stealing fro...

Ever worry that you’re imagining things? From the fact of a Current TV ad in Milan’s Pasteur subway station, to it’s content, it was hard to shake the feeling that my mind had prearranged the decor in advance of our visit to the city. Shepard Fairey’s Obama gets the once-over...

The guy who made the famous Obama poster? I went to a talk tonight at the New York Public Library between him (Shepard Fairey), Lawrence Lessig, and Steven Johnson about how remixing plays into our, on the one hand, corporate and litigious, and on the other, mashing up and free-wheeling, society.

Dave Combs says he was in the cab with Shepard Fairey when Fairey was arrested outside the ICA. And he says that but for a couple of wrong turns by their cab driver, Boston Police would have arrested Fairey right at the entrance to the ICA, instead of out in the parking lot, deliberately provoking a...

What do you need cable for anymore when you can get programs about stuff you want to see so easily on the internet? Sports. That’s what. (I was just looking to see if the Superbowl is being streamed this year, but couldn’t find any reliable results.) Also, you know what? I don’t ca...

Congratulations to the U.S. of A on not being the butt of the worlds jokes anymore - at least in the leadership department. Mr. Barack Obama has the cards in his hand, it's now all in how he plays them. Ok, enough with the vague analogies and on to the awesome videos I found for you all today. See i...

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN MEANS NEGOTIATIONS WITH NO PRECONDITIONS WITH IRAN MEANS THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL "I wanted the poster to be recognizable as my work, and to be appealing to a younger, apathetic audience, yet tame enough not to be seen as radical or offensive to the more mainstream politica...

So much great stuff going on in the world today, where to begin... Steven Daily, the southern Californian better known as that guy that draws good and stuff artist, dropped a line this week saying thanks to all those that supported Gag Me With A Toon and he was so inspired by all the love you folks ...
