Watch this video from time to time. I love Shepard’s energy. So creative yet so mellow and not pretentious like most artists who make it big. Happy to see he’s still around and being paid good money to put up massive works all over the world.

He literally just plagiarizes other people art without credit. There are dozens and dozens of examples

Obey did the right thing 25 years ago when he decided to use the slogan "obey" and he elaborated his main logo\face stencil (the obey one). Elaborating a simple yet long lasting image is not easy. You have to be both skilled and lucky. He realized it and continued in using and repeating it for decades. So the obey lesson is.... Start correctly your project so it will last during years. Respect.

@@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631 Duck your rumors fool....André the Giant was a real life wrestler, and Shepard made a stencil of his appearance in a newspaper, adding his own slogan to it. 100% original... The obey logo is André the giant, with obey underneath. Obey is inspired from "They Live" where billboardrs change from the usual product advertisement to words like "Obey", "Consume" etc. So he took inspiration from the message of a mind-controlling government portrayed in "They Live", and the real life rise of consumerism in the 80s, combined with his 100% original André the giant stencil, and made it his company logo, with a incorporated message that's possibly the strongest any brand could have (theoretically ofc.), i'd say that's pretty fucking genius man.

Grew up in Charleston and started skateboarding when I was 11 (1991). Shepard was at RISD at that time. Anyone who knew him, they knew about the stickers. I used to write to him and get stickers for a crazy cheap amount him. I think it was something like 5-10 cents per sticker. I also bought his first t-shirt, way before it was Obey. I think the brand was called Alternate Graphics. These stickers where everywhere in Charleston, due to me and my skate crew putting up them all over town from around 1991-1995. Continued skateboarding into my mid 20’s, but stopped putting up those stickers when I was 14/15. Having known Shepard Fairey, this video is very nostalgic for me. The primary skate shop in Charleston, Big Edna’s (RIP), was very helpful in pushing his brand at that time.

They were out here in Long Island around the same time. Funny how we lived across the country from each other and we were seeing the same graffiti.😂 Back then JA was doing his thing heavy here in NY.

Shep is the man. Never got the dried wheat-paste out of my vehicle’s carpet after a mission in Baltimore. He was cool and low-key and I was acting like an ass telling everyone we met that that “this is the Andre the Giant guy!” I think he died a little inside and now, twenty-five years later, I’m dying inside thinking about it.

Loved his stuff forever....his heart and head are in the right place...you know a real baller when he's generous with his techniques and not threatened...seems like a nice dude too

I met Shepard feirey- he's from my town and while he was doing one of the murals in his power and glory collection he signed a can and got one of his team members to hand it to me. Montana hardcore can- great guy :)
