casekonly Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 this past sunday i sawa huge 'obey giant' poster in the family guy episode. here's why: (excerpt from seth mcfarlane interview) CR: Here's a random one: I know you went to the Rhode Island School of Design. Did you know Shepard Fairey when you were there? Do you know who he is? He's the street artist who puts up all those signs around town that say 'Obey Giant'? SM: Oh that guy! CR: That guy! SM: Yeah, he was there when I was there! I don't think I actually knew him. But he was there when I was there, and it's amazing because those things originated when he was in school there and now they're everywhere. CR: I was just wondering, because he's the other big Rhode Island School of Design guy. That's cool though, that you went to school with him. You can use *that* as a pick up line! SM: Sure, sure, Hey, I went to school with that Andre the Giant Obey Guy! http://www.citizenrobot.com/readme/sethmacfarlane.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Haha, yeah I saw that. I wonder if Shepard Fairy paid money to put that in there. I mean, that's a kind of gag that you'd normally see him drawing a bunch of faces or a big picture of himself. The Obey picture is just random as hell.

dELiSs Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah shepard fairey is a fag. I guess its cool he made that obey shit so big but the fact that he copied it from a movie is lame. plus he deejays at his own shows. pretty fruity.

Quoted post why are you hating. the man gets up probably more than any writer or "street/guerilla artist" like buffmonster, london police, "dave", and all them other cats. and i thought he copied that andre the giant thing from a news article, just the face though. all that other shit is his original idea. and whats wrong with dj'ing at your own show? the man is killin two birds with one stone.

deterrent Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Damn seth went to RISD, fuck. I've been thinking of getting my masters there. Oh and to CitezenRobot: "Other big Rhode Island School of Design guy." You are fucking kidding me, way to discredit yourselves. Sure Shepard is famous but Seth is a pair of fucking clown shoes when put next to the countless other design greats to come from RISD. Gosh darn fools you are.

Quoted post [/b] I don't think you can give someone full credit for paper campaigns, I know for a fact that this shepard guy has/had other people putting his shit up.. It is all over, but that does'nt mean he put them there.. and P.S. Fuck the buffmonster~ what the fuck is that rubbish?! I want to push that kids shit in with his wheatpasting broom Thinking it's cute to go over entire walls with that bullshit, sucka duck probally never could get a handstyle or a throw-up, got mad and tryed to take it out on the whole scene. Little rich nerd, stays in them soft towns cause he knows he'll get touched if he get's caught out in the street going over the wrong people with that buff bullshit~ 'Round these parts even regular commercial wheatpasters caught going over peoples spots get abrassively approached...sunny-sons parents would be getting one of those "dreaded phone calls" Mark.

And i dont think he sees it as graff he talks about it as a phenomena not graff. but in the end like it or not a lot of fools know the name. and the icon. IMO its tuff to judge his shit on graff standards when he works on a different set of principles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post [/b] I'm not even talking about that Andre the Giant thing . If you like that obey shit go rent the movie "THEY LIVE" by John Carpenter and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's obviously copied. Trust me that OBEY thing is not original . If you dont want to see it I can explain a bit. Its actually a pretty cool movie even though its old. Good for him he is making the $$$. Selling clothes in NOrdstroms, the obey idea he copied is everywhere, he has his own magazine (swindle) post no bills,doing art shows ..
