Sheppard Fairey lied about the Obama image.

A shocking revelation has just come to light in the ongoing battle between Sheppard Fairey and the Associated Press. The Associated Press released a statement last night claiming that Mr. Fairey knowingly submitted false images to the legal proceeding between Mr. Fairey and the Associated Press. Furthermore the statement reveals “that Fairey tried to destroy documents that would have revealed which image he actually used” and that “he created fake documents as part of his effort to conceal which photo was the source image, including hard copy printouts of an altered version of the Clooney Photo and fake stencil patterns of the Hope and Progress posters.”

Pout, baby pout.

Twenty-five years as a fashion photographer I never said the phrase “pout baby pout” to get an alluring look out of a model.

I have used the phrase to poke fun at my own industry, but that’s only because the stereotypical idiom seems be the only one that the public, the pedestrians, seem to recognize as being associated with fashion shooters. So I did some historical digging. There is no recorded history of any photographers ever using that phrase. There are, however, gobs of examples of actors acting the role of photographers using “pout baby, pout” everywhere. What a dreadful stereotype.

Brilliant rock art.

Zoltron has created a seminal poster of one of my absolute favorite bands from the eighties. They played a show last week in San Francisco that I wish I went to. But at least now I own the one of the limited edition posters. If you’re a fan like I’m a fan, you’ll want to pick one up before they are sold out.

There are two versions; a regular release version that has an edition size of 200 and are $35 each. And a red/white variant that has an edition size of only 10 for $65 each. I grabbed the variant which means there are only nine left. They are both 4 color 20 x 27 inch prints signed and numbered by the artist. Purchase them here.
