James Jean stands in front of his banner art. It’s 17 feet wide and nice. It looks great. This is a one second exposure! James Jean and David Choe’s art looks great, it’s on the second floor along with Souther Salazar’s 25 foot painting, Stella Lai’s 3 pieces and Jack Long’s work. Keep an eye on www.giantrobot.com/biennale for every update I could do. Presentation tonite is at 7:30pm. Figures and tons of them. David and Le Merde are working on their wall art. That’s Le Merde and David before they took off. They did a fine job repping Dehara too. Ako Castuera Rob Sato getting flicked by Audrey Mag

Souther Salazar. A guy I've known for a while. This is an in progress of an installation which looks great. I'll add some more photos. This photo does not justice to it, but his large painting that's coming will be something amazing. Also 7pm. Yes, that's when you should come by. I'm going to intro the artists on stage at the hall at 7:30pm. Then it's party time. Music, etc.

This is a bit heartbreaking, although it doesn't diminish the power of the image, the campaign, and all that. Read all of the parts, if you're that into it. Either way, it seems like Shepard erred somewhere, and has come out to talk about it and fess up. It's a bit nuts, and in the end, it seems like he really didn't need to mess around. His case was fine as it was. Wasn't it? This is the AP side...
This is a bit heartbreaking, although it doesn’t diminish the power of the image, the campaign, and all that. Read all of the parts, if you’re that into it.

His case was fine as it was. Wasn’t it? This is the AP side of it at the link below. I still think the AP should back off, or else come to a realistic agreement with Fairey or charge him for a license and not try and take portions from his sales which were all put into the campaign. Then again, I’m sure the AP is seeing dollar signs from him. They’re only going after him because his rendition was iconic and made money.
