el barto Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 i like his art, his posters are dope and his efforts are sick, but it is a little odd because your never sure whos actually putting em up, but whatever you have to respect the way he spread his shit around like propaganda and have kids putting his name up for him. and it still is his art even if soemone else is puttign it up.

Fuxus Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 He even has a smooth explaination of it all with the term coined as "phenomenology". It's funny how far it has gone and what it inspired. Love it or hate it, Obey the Giant insane amounts of coverage and it is mostly illegal.

Guest bug Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Obey is such big trend. its sad to see someone's art that you like become such a commodity, but at the same time i'm glad that one more artist is able to avoid the 9-5 routine and make his living off of what he does. he gets all of my best wishes. i only wish that all the kids buying the clothing line could understand the passion and effort that goes into street art.

Ahem, he does pay people to paste for him. Deal with it. Whatever his sheep acolyte fans do on their own free time matters not at all to me. What he's doing right is meaningless self-promotion. That's his trip, and yes it's up. He can say 'phenomenology' and make his point across to the art school kids, but it's not graff. So who cares? It may as well be a Pepsi logo - do you respect Pepsi for having "ups"? Honestly, my only beef with it is that it's boring as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, my only beef with it is that it's boring as hell. pepsi has billions of dollars backing their advertising campaign. sheppard fairey doesnt (altho he no doubt has more now than when be started)....still....its one person spreading propaganda and advertising themself to the point that people, including you, compare them to the likes of pepsi, nike, etc...pretty impressive and not at all a boring concept if you ask me....which you didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
