Fairey Update: Arrested for Art

barack-obama-fairey-hope.jpg Shepard Fairey was arrested last night on his way to play a DJ set at the ICA, where his new art exhibit recently opened. The highly controversial street artist apparently had warrants out for his arrest from alleged previous instances of street art (slash vandalism?), according to the Herald. (Guess you can't be arrested for alleged plagiarism after all.) No word on whether the arresting cops were on six-figure overtime shifts.
