Awhile ago, Boston police arrested artist Shepard Fairey for some outstanding graffiti charges or something. At the same time, the city of Boston allowed Fairey to hang a giant picture in Government Center. For those of you who don't know, that's our city hall. So, Boston hung a piece by arguably the most famous propaganda artist in the world on their government building. I love Fairey's work, but I don't think it was quite the right place to put it. If anything, it takes away from his message. I'm not usually one to complain about people selling out (because I'm busy complaining about other things), but this is borderline shark jumpage. Whatev, his stuff is still awesome and this doesn't ruin any of his older stuff.
