At the Jonathan Levine Gallery on West 20th St. at his solo show graffiti artist Shepard Fairey said, “When I confronted James Cooper I said, ‘I don’t know you, you don’t know me. I have put together a very time-consuming art show that required an incredible amount of energy and money to produce. I provided free alcohol, free entertainment, it is a free event. Great deejays, you are here to sabotage it. All I can say is that with my street art I know what the consequences are if I get caught and I hope you knew what the consequences might be if you got caught. If the book get thrown at you, I feel a little bad, but not that bad.”
