Shepard Fairey is making a guest appearance on Portlandia on January 29th.\u00a0 He says:<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a big fan of Portlandia, Carrie Brownstein and <\/span>Fred Armisen\u2019s comedy show based on poking fun at the idiosyncrasies of bohemian Portland Oregon, so I was very excited when they asked me to do a cameo.\u00a0 I\u2019ve spent a bit of time and done a few art shows in Portland, so I know where Portlandia finds its inspiration.\u00a0 In fact, the part I play, a jaded art store employee, was set in the exact art store where I bought my art supplies while staying in Portland for a stint a few summers ago. I\u2019m no actor, but this part, along with maybe \u201cjaded art student\u201d or \u201cjaded skate shop employee,\u201d are the closest I\u2019ll ever get to method acting.\u00a0 Fred and Carrie are a blast to hang out with and made the whole experience a lot of fun for me. Here\u2019s a clip from the segment, but you can catch the full episode Thurs. night on IFC.<\/span>\u00a0 -Shepard<\/span> Portlandia airs Thursdays 10pm EST on IFC.<\/p>\n
