Shepard Fairey Is Up Against It In Boston
"This may be the only place in America where Shepard Fairey, the street artist whose omnipresent portrait of Barack Obama has become a touchstone, is not fully feeling the love. Mr. Fairey appeared in two municipal courts here this week to fight a cascade of vandalism charges.... While this is not his first encounter with the police -- Mr. Fairey has been arrested more than a dozen times for posting his art on whatever surface catches his eye -- it appears to be his biggest legal tangle to date."
