A couple days ago I posted a short piece about Shepard Fairey and his retrospective at the Warhol Muuseum. It got me thinking further about Shepard Fairey and the mark he is leaving on the art world.

Andy Warhol 1971
Shepard Fairey is the Andy Warhol of my generation. Sounds like a very strong statement—but I do believe it to be true.
