Shepard Fairey could have some jail time coming after entering a plea of “guilty” in a criminal case with the Associated Press, according to a post on the LA Times Blog.
The artist pled guilty in a New York court to one count of criminal contempt for destroying documents, manufacturing evidence and other misconduct in his case involving his “Hope” poster of Barack Obama. . . Fairey admitted in 2009 to destroying documents and submitting false images in his legal battle with the AP.
Sounds like Shepard is going the Martha Stewart route. It wasn’t stealing the photo that got him, it was “destroying documents” and “manufacturing evidence.” According to the story, Fairey will be sentenced July 16, 2012 and could get 6 months is prison and a $5,000 fine.

Forum Snowboards is releasing an extremely limited run (only 15 world-wide) of the We Live Forum set ups.
The board, based on the 2013 Destroyer profile, features limited edition artwork designed by Peter Line, and has been numbered and autographed by the legend himself. Also included in the mix are Forumula Boots complete with the all-new Tweaker Cuff NexTreme and custom tagged with the We Live Forum member’s name, and Republic Bindings – both produced in select We Live Forum colors and materials. Everything’s dialed and ready to go whether it’s seasoning the nearest park or hitting backcountry boaters all day.
We’re guessing these are going to be almost impossible to get, but check your local Forum dealer just to be sure.
