Shepard Fairey Print

Shepard Fairey is a fantastic artist and well known for creating the Obama "HOPE" poster. So I thought of him when I went to buy my first real piece of artwork, a Shepard Fairey & Glen E Friedman portrait of Cornel West. The detail in the print is amazing and I think it makes a great first piece to my little art collection.

"Empathy is not simply a matter of trying to imagine what others are going through, but having the will to muster enough courage to do something about it. In a way, empathy is predicated upon hope."
— Cornel West

My Favorite Tag in Detroit

Located in the Cork Town district of Detroit this tag is right next to Slows BBQ and you can't miss it.

Bansky in the D!

I've been on a guerrilla art kick ever since seeing Banksy and Shepard Fairey climb onto roof tops and run from police in the new documentary, Exit Through the Giftshop. UK graffiti artist Bansky has tagged walls all over the world and recently came to Detroit! He left three pieces here two that have already been destroyed, and the piece shown below has been taken down by Gallery 555 for preservation.
