WEEKLY JOURNAL: One Ransome Note - Obedience Is The Most Valuable Currency

Shepard Fairey is and underground artist who in recent times has slowley been moving in to the spotlight. "One Ransome Note - Obedience Is The Most Valuable Currency" was created by Fairey apparently in hope of portraying the dangers of capitalism.  However, weather his art was successful or not I couldnt tell because alot of people seem to think his work shallow and redundant and unoriginal while others value it greatly. critics say that he has turned a subversive and political movement into "just another fashion statement" and that he is using the system to his own advantage. For more information on this read the article "Obey Plagiarist Shepard Fairey" by Mark Vallen (http://www.art-for-a-change.com/Obey/index.htm). Shepard is more known for is obama "hope" poster, however, this too was accused of plagiarism.
