Artist Of Famed Obama Poster Arrested For Tagging

Two warrants were issued for Fairey on Jan. 24 after police determined he'd tagged property in two locations with graffiti based on the Andre the Giant street art campaign from his early career, Officer James Kenneally said. One of the locations was the railroad trestle by the landmark Boston University bridge over the Charles River, police said.

Fairey, 38, of Los Angeles, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Brighton District Court, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney. Wark said Fairey would also be arraigned on a default warrant related to a separate graffiti case in the Roxbury section of Boston.

Joe, there is a story on today's Washingtonpost.com that talks about the veterans ball that Obama skipped on inaguration day. I could not figure out how to link it. but I think it is interesting and you might too.

AP is wrong that you can't make art off of a photo.

The artist is wrong for tagging private and public property.

1:58 is off topic and should be pleased that Obama supports veterans benefits for their health care that Bush and the Republicans were cutting as a thank you for service in Iraq.

The weather is off for the season, but I love it.
