Published on September 04, 2008

Police arrested 154 people in Denver last week, most of whom were involved in protests of one sort or another. Buried in this list is the name Frank S. Fairey, which contemporary art fans will recognize as the birth name of one of the most famous street artists in the world: Shepard Fairey. He was in town as part of the Manifest Hope gallery show featuring art inspired by Barack Obama

Though it was the fourteenth such arrest for Fairey, who got his start in the early 1990s with the Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, the experience ranks as one of the most unusual.

  1. people like you are why I'm a liberal, thanks for reminding me.


  2. Arrested for protesting the war?

    Good for Shep!!!

    The whole "career criminal" thing is laughable, by the way. Still, thanks for letting us know about Shep. I'll donate money to help him post bail.

    ; )

  3. Well, birds of a feather, flock together.  

  4. So is Obama,He helped fleece all the poor Blacks in Chicago.with help from Rysko.

  5. Well, I guess you can call graffiti artists that if you like. What's your point? If a murderer draws a picture of your candidate does it mean that McCain's a raving lunatic out to kill people?

  6. Charles Manson was inspired by The Beatles, does that mean we should ostracize and blame them?

  7. I don't think Americans will care about this fringe artist and if they give him a thought it will be, "He doth protests too much."  

  8. What about 500 arrested ( Ron Paul ) Supporters last night

    and they were republicans


  9. Does it really matter, the whole American political scene is a farce. So much money is spent and you still end up with a corrupt government.
