Shepard Fairey Remixes Creative Commons


Just a quick note on our friends at Creative Commons. They've recruited one of the hottest artists in America, Shepard Fairey, to do a gorgeous little rendition of their logo (at left). Those who have been following the evolution of Fairey from guerilla street tagger to blue chip American artist will be especially pleased to see how the artist has not forgotten his roots. He's a not quite domesticated artist (recently arrested at his own art opening at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston) who can appreciate the sometimes provocative legality of the copyleft. Naturally, Creative Commons wants to cash in and get some solid donations out of the project. The logo has been plastered on a t-shirt and is available here, along with some other cool schwag, for a contribution to a good cause. So, OBEY, and check it out, or else Andre the Giant will excommunicate you from his posse.
