At Shep Fairey retro at ICA & the large billboard-sized works are quite lovely. Scale seems crucial for the success of his imagery. #
I like when Fairey stays flat but his textured collages & paper cutouts r trying too hard. Sometimes his figures are really badly rendered. #
Two older women chatting behind me @ Fairey show looking at a photo of his street work. One says, “That’s how they are displayed outside.” #
Am I glad I saw the Fairey show? Yes. Would I have missed anything if I hadn’t seen it? Absolutely not. http://yfrog.com/0rvicjj #

Titian show at MFA is packed beyond belief. I’m supposed to see art like this? BULLSHIT! #
