Consentually Banned In Boston

Andre the Giant/Obey by Shepard FaireyStreet Artist Shepard Fairey, who for decades plastered his stickers and posters on buildings and street signs, issued an apology and agreed to stop... At least in Boston for the next two years.

Under the arrangement, Fairey pleaded guilty to three vandalism charges and must pay a $2,000 fine. His plea deal will prohibit him from carrying stickers, posters, wheat paste, brushes, and other tools of the graffiti trade.

  1. I love his art. He must be about ready to head up there this coming summer I guess.
