Variations on a possibly-recognizable theme

Shepard Fairey evidently believes in repurposing content:

The Audacity of Hype

But this is, in fact, precisely what the musician in question requested:

Rather than just get an artist to spoof the picture like so many others have done, Biafra went to Fairey himself. “We’ve known each other for years, at least by phone and being fans of each other’s work.”

And, as we all know, there’s always room for Jello.

    Shepard Fairey and I have a lot in common. We both take one good idea and beat it long past its death.

    I went through a “Tree of Life” phase that demanded said tree decorate every baked good that I made. It started because I produced a cheesecake with a big crack in it that needed covering. From there, I felt I had to maintain the project. It lasted about a year and a half. People were mystified.

    I also had a “Year-At-A-Glance” period where every document I created had a companion YATG compilation whether anyone asked for it or not.

    I have no current project underway but am open to suggestions.

    I’ve been a fan of Jello & Dead Kennedys for many, many years. (Cripes, over 25! I’m old.) I saw him when he came to OKC around 2000 or so. It was a great show. Only $10 and he spoke for about 4 hours. Wish I could see him again.
