Free Shepard

As you might have heard, Shepard Fairey was arrested on his way to the opening of his show at the ICA. It looks to me like the city was trying to debunk his art on the night it was first being shown in a legitimate museum by calling in old warrants for putting his stickers up on buildings without permission. He may not be a mind-blowing artist but his stuff is good and even though he may enjoy being a martyr it will still be a blow against art and free expression if the state (an AP for that matter) successfully prosecutes him.

He's being arraigned at Brighton district court (in Brighton center) tomorrow morning and I think I will head down there if anyone wants to go.
