Shepard Fairey Sues Associated Press

First the AP sues Shepard Fairey, now he sues the AP.
Bloomberg: Shepard Fairey, the artist whose “Hope” image of President Barack Obama was added to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, sued the Associated Press over the news company’s copyright challenge to the artwork.

Fairey seeks to “vindicate” himself after the AP earlier accused him of copying the AP photograph on which the artist’s red-white-and-blue image of Obama is based, according to a complaint filed today in federal court in New York.

The Los Angeles-based artist and his company, Obey Giant Art Inc., used the AP photograph “as a visual reference for a highly transformative purpose,” according to the complaint. “Fairey altered the original with new meaning, new expression and new messages.”

Obama Art Posters Going For Big Money

An interview with Ken Harman of obamaartreport.com on the value of Obama art posters, which go for as much as $40,000. This Obama painting, part of a charity auction, is now bidding at $108,000. The Hope poster by Shepard Fairey has been the most popular. Fairey is an Obama supporter. Harman is too.  
There is some McCain artwork but there is no demand for it, Harman said.

Obama store, where I always shop 
I bought this t-shirt about three weeks ago. Still waiting. It takes a long time to get stuff from the Obama store. High demand. Worth the wait.
