How Dina Douglass Beat Shepard Fairey


Artist triumphs over artist, and with good reason. Artist Dina Douglass discusses, quite eloquently, why she sued Shepard Fairey for copyright infringement, and what she thinks of artists who steal from other artists.

For my part, I think that fighting for your rights is always worthwhile. Fairey’s art may be better known than mine, but his art is no more or less important, and his rights as an artist are no more or less important than mine.

I still don’t know why any artist would deny another artist credit for their work, especially when their own work is based upon another person’s original creation. If any artist thinks that the creators of photographic images are not as worthy of credit as the creators of paintings, multimedia collages or other types of art, then I humbly submit that disdain for another artist’s medium has no place in the art world.
