Shepard Farey, Obey
Shepard Fairey (Obey the Giant) è nato nel 1970 a Charleston, Nord Carolina. Ha disegnato la sua prima campagna di adesivi, "André the Giant has a Posse", mentre era ancora uno studente alla Rhode Island School of Design nel 1989. L'adesivo mostrava il defunto wrestler francese professionista insieme alla sua leggendaria altezza e peso: sette piedi, quattro pollici e 520 libbre. Dopo che Fairey e la sua crew di skateboarder hanno intonacato la faccia di André a Providence, nel Rhode Island, il motivo ha preso vita propria e ha iniziato ad apparire nelle città di tutto il Paese. In risposta a questa crescente popolarità, Fairey ha prodotto una versione ridotta del design, che ha intitolato Obey The Giant, che presto è diventato il logo dell'artista; il logo ha fatto apparizioni cameo in film e spettacoli tra cui Batman Forever (1999), Phone Booth (2002) e Family Guy, e la campagna è stata oggetto di un documentario del 1996 di Helen Stickler. Da allora Fairey ha modellato una serie delle sue opere più iconiche sulla base dell'estetica semplice dai colori minimali, tra cui il poster della campagna presidenziale del 2008 di Barack Obama, "Hope".

In response to this growing popularity, Fairey produced a scaled-down version of the design, which he titled Obey the Giant, which soon became the artist's logo; The logo has made cameo appearances in films and shows including Batman Forever (1999), Phone Booth (2002) and Family Guy, and the campaign was the subject of a 1996 documentary by Helen Stickler. Fairey has since modeled a number of his most iconic works based on the simple aesthetic of minimal colors, including Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign poster, "Hope".
