Fairy & English

I was fortunate enough to get off work a little early yesterday and get tipped off by a friend that Popaganda and pop super artists Ron English and Shepard Fairy were going to be hanging some work on 22nd and Broadway. I got there just after they began and was able to take in first hand the works that make these artists so special being hung first hand.

A couple filmers were there shooting the scene for an upcoming documentary on Fairy, English, and their arts role in this DNC. One filmer asked Fairy about why he supports Barack, and what if Barack fails us on his promises; the answers were great. At one point a filmer ran out of tape as Fairy finished a remark. Fairy turned back to his work as if he'd answered enough questioning, but moments later swung back around and told the filmer to reload his camera because he had more to say on the subject. It was impressive. At a lull in the questioning I asked Fairy what he thought of Denver. He looked over our tiny downtown skyline and turned to me with an unempressed look on his face , "every one I've met has been really nice, but the cops here suck" he said. Now I know how girls feel when a guy they like tells them, "you're really smart" and the statement ends there. I will have some more pics available on a flickr account as soon as I have time.
