Artwork: Mischievous Darlings
. Art by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions
"Mischievous Darlings" is a macabre gothic vision inspired by the horror genre. The cuteness of the monsterlings adds a bit of humor and sarcasm to the piece. Sweet dreams my pretties!

Artwork: Let Them Eat Cake Art Show
Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.
I'm participating in an all-female art show at the Everybody Get Up Gallery called "Let Them Eat Cake" until May. If you have a sweet tooth and love frilly things, then this show is for you. The subject matter is a brief departure from my usual gothic tendencies, but it was a fun experiment. Shop here on the EverybodyGetUp site. A percentage of the profits will benefit the East Bay SPCA.

Inspiration: Paper Toys and Mail Art
Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.
Matt Hawkins' blog site Custom Paper Toys is a great collection of constructed characters. Paper toys are an emerging, affordable method of art promotion through DIY methods.
Mail Me Art by Darren Di Lieto (Illustration News Portal) is an interesting project where artists submit art through the postal system. You could check out the book for the initial project here.

Shephard Fairey and Copyright Lawsuit
The MotionGrapher website posed an interesting poll about Shephard Fairey's infamous Obama poster and Milton Glaser's critical review. Another critique of Fairey's work is on artist Mark Vallen's blog. Earlier, the New York Times published an article, indicating that Fairey's suing the Associated Press to combat copyright infringement. "The suit asks the judge to declare that Mr. Fairey’s work is protected under fair-use exceptions to copyright law, which allow limited use of copyrighted materials for purposes like criticism or comment."
I think it depends upon the intention of the artist, whether or not the work is a commentary (falling under fine arts arena) or promotion/advertisement (commercial arts). Public figures are subject to scrutiny and critique--political cartoons and satire are evidence of this--but money always complicates matters. Andy Warhol displayed familiar faces and icons in his work--it was a social commentary on popular culture, but if you look at his commercial work, it was original. With Fairey's work, he started out in graffiti/street art. Much like the tattoo realm, street arts sometimes take artwork from their original context and places it into a different medium, with or without the original artist's consent. It's the nature of the beast and hard to control. From one point of view, it is plagiarism, but in another view, it's imitation and sometimes viewed as flattery. For fine arts, there shouldn't be a limitation on creation/expression as it's personal and an expression of one's self, but with commercial arts, there should be greater sensitivity to copyrights.
