Shepard Fairy can fuck right off. He stole the original photo and tried to sue the source to hide the fact. I used to like him before all that.
I guess the good thing is that he seems to be trying to do better. The sourcing and licensing is legit on this poster, and he appears to acknowledge that he was did a shitty thing by not properly crediting the source for the Hope illustration.

As an AI nerd, this to me looks AI-generated.
What’s with the teeth? The lower lip? What’s with the variance in the necklace? The eyes look more ‘real’ than the rest and don’t fit either. They’re also at different heights looking in different directions. Why “forward”? It sounds like something the Simpsons did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqjhHVUzl8o
The whole thing seems like a joke.
Do we have a confirmation it’s actually the guy from a credible source?
Fully agreed, couldn’t say it better myself. My guess is some intern slapped it out of a generative AI. There is a LORA for this exact type of poster for free. It would take about 5 seconds to make this.
Idk it kinda seems like they did her dirty.
Yeah. I like the Obama one better too.
Nah. Less red the better.
Keep red for communists, Republicans, and Satan.
I get it but come now, the color red did nothing wrong.
It’s also ironically the color of liberalism in most other countries, worth pointing out given Lemmy is an international community. So that could sound confusingly aggressive to international readers.
Interesting. As the article notes, Shepard Fairey was very public about his disappointment with Obama. I guess, unlike many people on Lemmy, he realizes how this is a fight to save our democracy and accelerationism doesn’t work.
All those people may as well be bots, it’s pretty clear where the NPC trope comes from when these people exist and 538 has a straight-line for every graph
Are these for sale?
They’re free, but a lot of people seem to be making prints.
