Prepare to lose the next two weeks of your life: South Park Studios just put the entire 12-season run of South Park online with limited commercial interruption. Genius.
Here’s an excellent (if not opinionated) article on the work of Shepard Fairey, the ma responsible for Andre The Giant Has A Posse. I was aware he appropriated artwork for some of his pieces, but I had no idea how far he went.
