But  I wonder if this  image of a dog with the word “ADOPT,” which I snapped in Marina del Rey, adds to the universal iconography idea that might help Fairey in his lawsuit with the Associated Press.

It's just a shame that he's the person that gets the most attention thanks to his self-promotion. Through actions like this, and seeming very hypocritical by threatening other artists with legal action and putting anti-spray paint coating on his office building, he makes it so easy for opponents to belittle the whole message.

There's no question that this disclosure is damaging to Fairey's credibility and brings his intentions into question. Any court would likely be biased against him. Hopefully Garcia takes a more active role in protecting the copyright - which he claims to control, not AP - and adds more wrinkleage to the case, enabling further and broader discussion of fair use and the need to reform copyright laws.

It is the unenviable fate of the famous to fuck up loudly & embarrassingly in public. Given the fact that Fairey's the first and only artist ever to become embroiled in controversy and exposed as less than unimpeachable in conduct, I am sure the longevity of his artwork will be severely damaged, and he himself will inevitably fall into obscurity. /sarcasm Sigh.
