I never really liked Obey because i didn't' understand it. all the "popular" kids on tumblr would take pictures with the hats and shirts and i would just say whatever. But I've always loved the Make Art Not War posters and shirts because they didn't seem over hyped, like the Obey stuff. Surprised when I found out both things are made by the same guy O__O
When you think of the riots in London and what actual human protest is about. It makes these posters with consumerist posterized images of earlier iconic political figures look like DISNEY CARTOON CHARACTERS... This is so meaningless and to sell the images on stickers and tshirts so suburban kids can pretend to acknowledge the bleeding edge of human struggle from the comforts of their bedrooms seems so TRITE and CHEAP and WORTHELSS... In reality these are just GIMMICKS to make some CASH!!!.
@BloodyPenguinn Oh yeah, why??? can you articulate a persuasive opinion? probably not. This is why you need to resort to childish name calling....YOU ARE THE KID. Take a look at you own thoughts on this screen.
@xpez cause you sit here and run your mouth about a game you know nothing about.... take your oppinions and shove em up your ass...no one gives 1 fuck about what some kid on youtube has to say about a famous well known talented artist. if he wants to sell his shit, so what. he's been arrested 13 times, you'd sell some shirts too. you got to do what you do to make your money. keep running your mouth,and hateing. he's not going anywhere.
@BloodyPenguinn you are one fat fucking moron full of contradictions " take your opinions and shove em up your ass, keep running your mouth,and hateing. he's not going anywhere."
so which is it? take my opinions and shove them up my ass or keep running my mouth???
obviously the posting section of you tube is for comments and opinions and I am expressing mine..meanwhile you are the only one hating my opinion
what? you think you are Ghadffi...telling people what to say and write? just stfu
Plagiarism of the worst kind...come up with something original Shepard. Just Google: Obey Plagiarist Shepard Fairey, A critique by artist Mark Vallen.
He's a fucking sheep...exactly what he's supposed to be mocking...what a joke.
@chabe0610 you'd have a point if u were talkin about che guevara t-shirts or something with a history or an original meaning but this clown makes meaningless merchandice whose market is popular poser kids
@chabe0610 Ahaha yeah they're the latest big thing at my school. But idk man, its kind of awesome at the same time. Makes me feel like theres and inside joke between me and shep that those fuckheads don't get :D
I went to Karmaloop and checked out some cool T-shirts. But when I try to buy some t shirt there mostly in LARGE. Im 5'8 or 5'9 Im pretty tall and shit. I weight about 130. If i bought large would it be too big on me. If it is can i shrink it to make perfect for my size?
Last April, Fairey mobilized his legal team to send Baxter Orr a cease and desist order threatening legal action against him for a parody of Fairey's Andre the Giant design, adorning it with a SARS mask and the title "Protect Yourself."

hey I'm new to Shepards work and i really like his stuff. I know most of his posters and art are only limited release but is there a site with some of his posters/art for sale? it would really help me out.
the only thing i dont like about him is that he likes obama and thinks the war in iraq is poitless (yes i dont like the war but i still fund the troops)
it is pointless and obama is better then any other president u have had.. i mean all of them besides one of the few eairly ones were good.. and the person that bombed the twin towers? yay sorry to tell u.. wasnt irakian :) it was probably an inside job AMERICA IS IN WAR CAUSE THEY WANT OIL thats it THEY TAKE WHAT THEY WANT .. it is pointless they just tell u that their bad.. but the fact is UR IN NO DANGER FROM TERRORIST!
great video, really gives some background. I am a big obey fan i have a lot of stickers and aparel. This stuff is awesome. Keep up the good work OBEY.

Copies can't be art? Take an art history class. You think graffiti isn't copied? Maybe it's less a selfish deed and more an underhanded compliment.
