Since 1989, the Obey street art campaign has become an important urban phenomenon, subconsciously touching those well aware of their environment. Through the vision of Shepard Fairey, Obey has evolved into one of the most controversial yet influential symbols of the 21st century. Derived from pop-culture athlete Andre the Gaint in the eighties, the Obey icon has been bombed in developed and rural cities around the world.
?Most of my designs are influenced by memories, things I?ve seen, heard or experienced. I grew up on punk rock, hip hop, graffiti and skateboarding. As an influence I group these elements together, to me they are all one in the same. It is a mix if these influences and the memories they have given ma that help me design. What could be a better influence or inspiration than a day of skateboarding and hanging with friends? Shepard Fairey - Obey
