Street Art - Focus Artist: Shepard Fairey
Fairey started his career out by making wheat paste posters and stickers and putting them around his local area as a joke.
They were of the famous wrestler from the 1980's, Andre the Giant.
Since then, he has turned the face of Andre the Giant as his company logo and called it "OBEY"
Homework
- Think about why Fairey used Andre the Giant as his company logo. You might want to look him up and find out how tall he was...
- On your own blog, describe how Fairey has turned Andre the Giant's face into his logo. Call your post, OBEY!!!
- In the comments below, tell us why you think Fairey calls his company, "OBEY"? You may comment on other people's responses.
