OBEY! Giant!
This books is a must have!! this book is the whole legacy to date, of the man that is OBEY!
Shepard Fairey is a unique man, not afraid of who he is and what he believes in! he has a message, and your going to hear it! Almost every major city in the world has been watched over by the face of Andre the Giant! and this tells the stories about how they came to be there, with jaw dropping detail, like photos (working, personal, finished work, in action) and keep sakes (like fines and the personal belongings bag from a night spent in the cells)
Even if you have never heard of the Obey Giant campaign, this book will still open your eyes to one mans great achievements and adventures! right from day one!
Viva La Posse!!

graphics career bible.
Most graphic designers will love this book. Even if Obey does fly in the face of the ideology of graffiti, the fact is SF is still terrorizing water tanks and clean walls, and he's built a mini-empire in the meantime. True art wouldn't limit itself, and that's the case in point. Plus you may find yourself inspired to read up on Noam Chomsky, Che Guavara or any of the bands, political leaders/revolutionaries that have featured in this book. And that's all that an artist could hope for...

YOU WILL OBEY!
This is an absolute peach of a book, fantastic to look at,even before you open the cover! It truley is awe inspiring and just plain normal inspiring for any budding designer , artist, graf artist, or anybody interested in graphics. You will not be dissappointed by this mighty tome of a collection covering propaganda, music, t-shirts, skateboards and many other areas of Shepards work, from his humble early days, upto Obey's current move to global domination(!) This man has lived his art, and it shows. Buy it now! Obey.....
