My main website is http://mdedwards.typepad.com and I have a subsidiary one at http://voxweb.typepad.com which I intend to delegate in the long-term.<br /> <br />I have noted the story regarding Cartrain and Mr.Hirst with interest. Mr.Hirst's workshop "Science" is in the constituency of Vauxhall. As well as being a poor politician I am also a very poor amateur artist and recently made a piece of work entitled "For the Love of Dog" which I intend to offer for sale to Mr.Hirst for £1,000,000, with the proviso that every penny goes into a local microfinance scheme along the lines of the Bangladeshi Grameen Bank to provide funding for grassroots, ecologically sustainable enterprise and employment. <br /> <br />What on earth will happen next?

I looked him up on Wiki and found:<br /><br />"Fairey has come under criticism for appropriating others' artwork into his own while failing to provide attribution for the work used. However, he has threatened to sue artists for the same technique. <br /><br />"Austin, Texas graphic designer Baxter Orr did his own take on Fairey's work in a piece called Protect, with the iconic Obey Giant face covered by a SARS respiratory mask. He started selling prints through his website marketed as his own work. On April 23, 2008 Orr received a signed cease-and-desist order from Fairey's attorneys, telling him to pull Protect from sale because they alleged it violated Fairey's trademark. Fairey threatened to sue, calling the designer a "parasite"."<br /><br />Cheeky!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey<br /><br />Thanks for the reference.Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-86964836257666235552009-09-05T12:27:00.225+01:002009-09-05T12:27:00.225+01:00It sounds to me as though Damien Hirst is the Brit...It sounds to me as though Damien Hirst is the British version of Shepard Fairey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
