Shepart Fairey, the artist of the Obama "Hope" image has been arrested.
Two Stories
Apparently, Fairey was arrested for one of two reasons or he was arrested for both. Different sources are spitting out different pieces of information.
Tagging
One source said that Shepard Fairey was arrested for tagging a wall in Boston based off of his Andre the Giant Street art campaign from his earlier career.
Copyrighting
The other story is that Fairey was arrested for using a copyrighted image in his Hope painting of Barrack Obama and not giving credit where credit was due.
Fairey is not a criminal
I hope to see this guy out of trouble soon. Even if he did break the law, he was doing it all for good cause.
