Fairey Lied about Obama image
Here is a lesson for all designers, be careful about how influenced you are for your own work by other people's work. With a myriad of sources to be influenced by, all the imagery we are bombarded with on a daily bases, we must be extra careful not to be overly influenced. (I believe Kristin wrote something about this earlier.) I myself had to change my DVD project from Aliens because I saw a movie poster redesign that was just too perfect and I couldn't help but be consumed by the concept, so I had to walk away from the idea. I guess it was an ethical crossroads for me and the devil lost this round. Read about Shepard's latest here.

Sounds like Fairey's been playing it fast and loose for a while now.
