He is using other artists imagery in his own way making different meaning. And he actually doesn't use a machine to produce all his works. He paints some of his designs, but most of them are made digitally. That article you have is bogus and they should do a bit more research on Shepard Fairey and the intentions of his work.

Don't get me wrong i'm definitely not against Obama but i see him on the cover of people, time, newsweek and every other mag out there and every time i see it. it's like "Great and beneveolent leader enjoys time with family page 24". his ad campaigns in videogames and everywhere inventive as well makes me feel like Big Brother is not far off.

Not to rain on anyone's parade but I think that site makes a piss poor job of making that poster style. I mean, it was likely made by reducing the colors of a photo and then hand tracing over the image. No kind of automated process will emulate that, it's all about hard work (regardless if it's plagiarized or not). So what about the line halftoning?
