Here's a preview that Don Goede sent to us this morning. Apparently, he went in a bit earlier than the public, and got a nice little preview for the fans who couldn't make it...

Enjoy this little clip...

@yofatface there will never be a point in your life when you can cash in your "honor points" Fairey wipes his ass with Banksy stuff. I would say my piece the omega point is better than anything banksy has ever created, bold statment huh>? Some people have to be told who there heroes are and some peoples beleifs come from experience, hes the most overrated artist ever and its hard to respect a guy that says being "your self" is bullshit, like being your self is so honorable".well good for him

i have to say that 95% of the time i look at art and say wtf is this, when i see this mans work i say "how the fuck is this", this is coming from a real artist, We accept all to often crap pretending to be art ,so its so refreshing when actual art comes along, yes i am judging, Music doesnt mean anything if you are deaf, Most artsies are the biggest losers and have no idea what they are talking about, real genius doesnt usually come right out and call it self what it is, real sees real...fin!

@gopopsghostly Yo Man, Just Peep It, The Words That Are Printed, The Symbols, Man, Some Of It Is Not Illuminati Propaganda, But The Majority Is.

@yofatface ...whats wrong with profiting from your art form? why is it that it's only honorable to be a starving artist? I mean, it's great that people are out there who do it with out making money...but it doesn't make someone's art invalid because they make money from it.

[yofatface]

@gopopsghostly thats what obey does he uses art in order to make money and fame...and thats why im so pissed off..unlike banksy he is totally against that concept..thats why i respect him so much.

@yofatface Shepard Fairy does not run Obey. He submits art and is an owner. He has nothing to do with the sale of shirts. Also, not sure where you are getting your shirts but $60 is pretty expensive. Any OBEY tee I have has cost me $30 - $40

How dare someone utilize their art to make money...what is this world coming to? next we'll have "musicians" trying to SELL their music and tickets to see them PLAY! fucking capitalists.

[gopopsghostly]

@greeffonreleef what does that have anything with anything? so he is a satanist all of a sudden? or is part of the illuminati?

it's just art dood. I think you're reading into it a bit much.

@LucasKaus no banksy thinks outside the box..take it like this what if banksy's stuff meant nothing at all..people just try interpret it..i kinda see what banksy does and how he works..unlike obey he's just full of shit

[LucasKaus]

@yofatface i agree i like banksy more but even still he's not a hypocrite and he's still good. plus banksy's shit although dope as fuck is sometimes pointless. obey has a consistent message in his shit almost always.
