Shepard Fairey, "OBEY" Street Artist and Designer

[eternalvision8]

Rebel, Rebel, I Love You So! Thank you, Shepard Fairey!

[hate2skatelove2ride]

the press wants to be payed because they know he is good and they cant touch him!

[vanspremuch]

all i can say is that heis a top guy,

[ReactArts]

haha, was with my sis at this shopping square in London, and i saw an Obey sign hidden on a side of a building, lool i got so excited about it xD

[vans4menu]

wow this is actually some very decent reporting. I forgot what that was like..

[Sanchezx22]

Dang! I thought obey was way younger

[rob420fle]

Listen to this obey is a satenist i have alot of obey shirts but i found out when you turn obey t shirt upside down it makes the goat with horns insde the illuminate star see i for yourslf

[trousersnake7]

@rob420fle it's supposed to he's an artist... there are more layers to the message he conveys in his artwork, and he's smart about it most people who openly expose the Illuminati or any higher up groups either get ridiculed or called crazy by the public.

[trousersnake7]

@rob420fle Or get harassed by the higher ups themselves, and in some occasions get their image destroyed so the public think they're loopy and irrelevant, e.g Charlie Sheen, Britney Spears, Dave Chappelle and thats just to name a few. Some celebrities who refuse to take orders from the higher ups actually end up dead mysteriously from drug overdoses and supposed suicides...

[thismyname2]

@rob420fle that does not mean he is satanic. if i take any random symbol and turn it upside down and flip it inside out and look at it in negative, i might catch some kind of triangle. does that mean its a hidden illuminati messege? no.

[JUNiORR94]

Fuck this illuminati obey nigga !

[xDiego1998t]

obey one!

[MegaCJRB]

Stuttgart

[LessonComplex]

[menthesenfermascrew]

[mamo2293]

[mamo2293]

aha I answered my own question..."Fame" - David Bowie..

[Kocktopus]

Get some obey clothing at karmaloop. Put in the rep code TL9 to get 20% off.

[ObeyPeaceGuard47]

more military less skools!!

[PlanbElliot]

lol @4:35

[avalanchesoul]

fuck this fool. another white male appropriating counter cultural minority icons for his personal gain. i won't call him a sell out, cuz he never stood for anything in the first place. people that look up to him seriously either don't know shit, or will just jock anybody. either way, he's the artist for people who don't like thinking, but love celebrityhood. on top of the fact that he's shitty conceptually, i've met him a handful of times and he was an idiot each time. and he bitched out to mear

[DonTrustZepHaters]

Now I know more about the meaning behind the clothing all those assholeDudes wear.

[carlosesquer1]

he gave that to you but its still illigle WTF

[j24800]

lib hero arrested 14 times... big surprise

[lucacc97]

King of graffiti- Banksy

Prince of graffiti- Obey

King of rap- Eminem

Queen of gays- Justin Bieber

Thumbs up if you agree

[smokedtoomuch]

@lucacc97 eminem is not the king of rap mate.

[FreestylerAlbert]

@lucacc97 :D:D

[AL6025]

@lucacc97 eminem?.........lol u fucking emo dumb fuck

[SkaterJay789]

got the obey logo tattoed in my body, I strongly beleive in what Stephen Fairey believes in.......question everything

[12Jackman12]

Question Everything.

[AxcelKaru]

Favorite street artist besides Banksy!

[bigdogs10]

I THINK IT SHOULD SAY DIS-OBEY!

FUK THE LAW

[cyberturban]

@bigdogs10 The point he's trying to make with OBEY is to question authority. You see his iconic obey poster plastered or wheat pasted somewhere and it's supposed to make you think "WHY should I obey?" The whole concept is really like reverse psychology because by putting up his art in the streets and vandalising, he is disobeying the laws. Shepard Fairey doesn't want you to obey. He's trying to awaken the general public to important issues through street art.

[JohnnyLucian]

this is all illuminati, FUCK THAT SHIT

[grinch104ify]

@JohnnyLucian yea fuck the illumanti !!!!!!!!

[KrisRaah]

Its not appropriate for only advertisers to occupy public space! Way to go Shepard! banking on freedom of speech to win his case!

[Sirafrican]

This just goes to show you how fucked up Americans and businesses can be. He is now in a legal battle with the associated press because they "Claim" that they had the original picture??? So now they want money from Shepard Fairey a man that is running a non profit business and just benefiting from the love of Art. Seriously America is just a money hungry capitalist country that will do anything for money. I love this country but we have so many flaws.

[sssergiopaezzz]

All I have to say is..... OBEY

[iCalvinXP]

Lol, Obama is promoting graffiti, nice :)

[hens623]

love the messages in his art work

[themadmanbadman95]

Nice man!

[paulj8c88]

His clothing line is Great, and Cheaper than Crooks & Castles, as well as 10 DEEP, I wear all 3 Brands, but the art in his shirts are Great!!

[logodesignlondon]

This is fabulous that every one can enjoy

[googoobh]

Respond to this video... If this isn't art , then I still love it. It it in your face , truthful and both respectful and dis respectful. If it isn't art , then it is something magnetic and grabbing. I see total punk and smash face graphic beauty. If it hits me like that , then who needs it to be art? What it is ... Is the SHIT !!!!! ..... and I love it.

[iRippedMyShirtToday]

LOL His Art Work Is Bomb But The Shirt Prices Suck.

[dapanda55smoot11]

i was wearing that one eye shirt at school the one dhat says "never trust your own eyes believe in wat u r told"AN SOMEONE SAID THAT SATANICm how is thatt satanic someone explain it to me plz

[Flykidzink]

@dapanda55smoot11 LOL Because The Message Says Not To Believe On Yourself Not To Trust Your Eyes But To Listen To The Media, News, And Believe It. Which Sucks Because The Eye Means The Pyramid We Have in our 1 dollar Bill which represents the illuminati which are a group of satan worshipers who are basically up in the USA government just waiting to apply the NEW WORLD ORDER. MEANING ALL THE MAINSTREAM ARTIST ARE INVOLVE IN IT. just the truth.

[dapanda55smoot11]

@Flykidzink \THNX IT EXPLAINS ALOT :D

[TOPASSASSIN420]

i never new the face of obeys stickers

[L1nd3n1m4n5]

lol the "Andre The Giant Has A Posse" pic at 4:58 is an emblem that you can paint on walls in the video game Counter Strike!!! XD I just was playing that and noticed!!!

[rainarzufall]

Obey and Space Inavder from Paris were major players in the street art world

[361983200]

i love his art man

[aliencrap]

He creates this image with a word that brings about a "rock star" sense for this man, who profited on it by becoming identified with a set of terms. It's these pieces of art and a set of terms that people can most cognitively get their heads around. It's easier than finding out who this man really is. This artist is part of a system that people buy into because they are either too busy or too lazy to really define and make sense of a person.

[googoobh]

@aliencrap HA HA HA .... Then do better

[aliencrap]

fart

[Pilaf1984]

Minor Threat t shirt

[MITTW3R]

true genius of art

[aaronjoyce]

finally a graffitti artist thats respected

[artchel1]

he's pretty humble

[redblueyellowish]

what song is that at the end of the vid?

[Mikki6]

Rebel Rebel - David Bowie

[iSucKatTyping09]

seriously.....and nothing innovative???? FUCK YOU, you talentless idiot. how you can you say that after watching this. NEVER MIND! this guy lived the life a street artist posting obey for no cash just the simple fact of getting up, which half of you dumb asses and 35 old single males no jack shit about..

[theboboperspective]

@iSucKatTyping09 fuck yeh man

[brettjberger]

@iSucKatTyping09 it's "know", not "no"... I agree with you otherwise though.

[samillividzyo]

omg... satanic?

seriously... get a damn life. learn a little about the guy before you fucking talk, please.

and hell yeah it's similar to warhol, he's one of his idols.

shepard fairey makes art with meaning, see the meaning and stop talking smack. :p

[lilmikey65oh]

propz to OBEY....keep it up

[timesfc]

7:38 i want the skateboards

[MrDuffy81]

SATANIC IMAGES!!!!

FUCK THIS ASSHOLE. He uses so much occultic sybolism that I KNOW there is more to this story that the news isn't telling us.

[Flykidzink]

@MrDuffy81 i half agree you can't understand this guy if you havent studied about all the illuminati bullshit which now makes sense after you put time to it and put the puzzle together so means we are all doomed

[MrDuffy81]

@Flykidzink We're not ALL doomed; just the repentless sinners and mindless masses. You do not have to be a christian to ask for the forgiveness of your sins (repentance).

Peace

[loveunderlaw]

@MrDuffy81 You should ask forgiveness of all those cats you gained unlawful carnal knowledge of.

[loveunderlaw]

@MrDuffy81 You know at some point in time you're going to need to remove the tinfoil hat, and come out of mommy and daddy's basement. Because as of right now

we all know you're a sociopathic cat raping fiend LOL

[ultravaccine]

he's ok...nothing innovative or eye catch, much like what Andy Warhol did in the 80's.....

[ashlandisghetto]

hater. this guy took illegal art and turned it into a bussiness while still staying legal and putting his art to work.

[docBOSS1444]

andy warhol was inovative and this guy brings something new to the table, he blends many element s of culture and creates a visually interesting peice of art, also look up Banksy

[Paintballg0d]

Nothing innovative? I don't know what video you're watching, but we obviously aren't watching the same one.

[TheLonerTable]

i cant hear shit

[marget1017]

i wrote " how to draw andre the giant" and it linked to obey?..! do u think that andre ROUISSIOFF[the giant] is the guy from obey??????????????

[blindbandithybrid]

yo ago street art y lo puedo decir con orguyo... obey es una inspiracion muy grande

[samsk8fl]

obey went to RISD !

[seapoidog]

Shepard Fairey is my Anti-Hero!

[Kidcky]

I hope to achieve the status that Fairey has with my art as well.

[nikeSBs93]

[bayskater4]

[jacob7207]

Good for him. Seriously. I remember when he started the whole Andre Campaign. It was like wtf is this Andre sticker about?

[Meowsaidthekitty]

what is it about

[jacob7207]

Something to do with starting a movement. I don't know. We were putting them on our skateboards in 1993.

[rokarolla]

Obey was a rock band in Boston. Could've sworn Andre the Giant haw a posse was around before I ever heard of Shepherd fairy.

[elarenke]
