Black Eyed and Bruised Ribbed, Shepard Fairey Offers Up His View of the Recent Attack Against Him in Copenhagen

This past weekend, as you may have heard, artist Shepard Fairey was physically assaulted shortly after the opening of an exhibition of his work in Copenhagen. He and his Obey colleague, Romeo Trinidad, were reportedly jumped while exiting a nightclub, attacked by a number of men who screamed at Fairey to “Go back to America” and that he was “Obama illuminati.” By the time they’d run off, the artist had a bruised rib and a black eye.
