Default Shepard Fairey

Does he do anything by hand, or is all of his art just a photoshop filter?

Please advise.

Thanks

he may use photoshop to posterize a photo before working over it but......... i've found that, when working that way, it works out better to do it by your own eye ( and i think shepard does the same ). photoshop makes some funky choices when posterizing.

I would imagine that he uses a computer like most designers.
But he is wikked skilled, unlike most designers.

I thought he was an artist, not a designer..

Now I'm really confused?

Seriously, the guy has been doing his own shit foe years, pasting up shit all over every major city in the world and just because his stuff takes some influences from old propaganda posters and such he gets hell. He's become successful by working his fucking ass off, why people gotta hate I have no clue.
