Shepard Fairey Copenhagen- Go home you yankee hipster.
He just did graphic art on the side of a building that was three stories high
He was paid by the city of Copenhagen, but the building he did the art on
was one that was taken over by the residences for unfair ethics.

He just put it up and it got pasted with a huge graffiti three stories high

'Go home you yankee hipster'


The thing is he didn't realize that this was
the govt. way of appeasing and the wrong political message was passed,
that's why locals got so upset.. He was paid by the city for something that
was a hot issue.

The graphic was pretty good it was on Peace, even had some Obama pictures in it.

I'M SURE IT WILL HIT THE NEWS IN THE STATES

I will post it as soon as it comes up.

3. I saw him working on it.... the people waited
until it was finished to tag it and defaced it with ladders.
Apparently he was paid a lot by the city of Copenhagen
for the art piece. The building was an area of contention
just like Christiana and riots occurred there.
