Obey! Obey! …just a quick follow-up on the Shepard Fairey stuff…

The Boston Phoenix has a great editorial up about Shepard Fairey’s arrest.

In particular, the writers concluded that, “There is, however, little amusing or entertaining — except to the smug, the low-brow, and the philistine — about this past week’s arrest of street artist Shepard Fairey, in town for a magnificent exhibition of his work at the Institute of Contemporary Art…”

The writers also don’t spare any punches. “The Fairey case may not be edifying, but it is illuminating. However this all plays out in the courts, Boston should thank Shepard Fairey for inadvertently provoking thought and insight about how our city works.”
