Theo Huxtable. Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 He said he was teaching his friend how to make stickers back in '88, and found the Andre The Giant image in the newspaper randomly and used it as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl broclo ESQ Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 theo is right, i think it was from a newspaper clipping. for some reason, i thought i had seen a baseball card, with almost the same image though. too bad he didn't use this card: OSCAR GAMBLE HAS A POSSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Wallbanger Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Apparently word got out that I was talking shit on the internet, because I just received one of these as a late birthday present in the mail. Shepard is once again A-OK in my book. [ATTACH]82109.vB[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Huxtable. Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I remember I was at this party/artshow, and somebody handed Shepard Fairey a blackbook and a marker, and asked him to hit his black book, and he got confused and was like "I don't really do the graff thing" and then he pulls out a sticker and slaps it in his blackbook. It was that "anti-Iraq War" sticker that says "Greetings From Iraq". Then he signed his signature underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
