OBEY THE FAIREY.

NYTimes has a nice article about street artist – Shepard Fairey from OBEY. It’s a decent article that talks about how Shepard is starting to get mainstream appeal but still keeping it true to the art form by doing street pieces. I like the way the story was written because it follows Shepard and his crew on a night of posting up street pieces. It’s inspiring to see that cats like Shepard who have accomplished a great deal still get down like they’re still hungry…This is a dude that sells pieces of his art for thousands of dollars, and he’s in the streets posting up free artwork on walls, billboards etc risking police arrests and whatever else…This is what winners are made of, in my opinion. Being fearless and willing to take risks. You gotta respect it..even if you don’t “get” it. Here’s some pics of from the article..all lifted from the NYTimes.
