Rebel With A C&D
Personally, as an artiste, I know my work isn’t finished until 1) my mom calls to tell me how disappointed she is in me or 2) I get a Cease & Desist for copyright infringement. So, what does it mean if you get a C&D from an iconoclast street artist for your parody of his senescent work. Well, for Baxter Orr, it means you can def clock out for the day my brother and celebrate another job well done. And for Shepard, i think it means your basically finished too.
Update: For a photo of the print that launched as many as one C&D click here.

Aaron added these pithy words on Apr 08 08 at 6:32 pmOne of the comments on the linked blog suggests that its a publicity stunt put on by Baxter Orr. Shepard Fairey serving someone a C&D for appropriating imagery is absurdly ironic of course, but who knows… he definitely makes an easy target for this kind of (alleged) stunt.
Josh added these pithy words on Apr 08 08 at 9:53 pmI am Baxter’s roommate and I can verify that the cease and desist is a real thing. Whatever Fairy does next is up to him, but its not some publicity stunt. Not to say that my roommate isnt morally above that sort of behavior.
