LevisŪ invited acclaimed street artist shepard fairey - best known for making his mark
around the world with his signature obey logo and more recently his barack obama 'hope' poster -
to develop a collection for the LevisŪ brand centered around the obey trademark.
the obey x LevisŪ line includes t-shirts, trucker jackets and jeans which have been injected
with fairey's graphic style. to celebrate, LevisŪ welcomed fairey to their flagship store located in
new york city's times square - where the artist went to work doing what he does best -
adorning the streets in his signature art work. he put up wheatpastes of his art along with tagging the
obey logo outside the store infront of an intrigued crowd.

amazing

Yes, it is amazing. Amazing how an anti-establishment street artist can become a rapacious bureaucratic capitalist who purports to be the former. If there were still sell-outs he would be one, but without a proper counter-culture to call him on it I suppose he's just a successful businessman.

saw the Shepard Fairey exhibit at the Andy Warhol museum...nice try. I don't think Warhol was a socialist but rather an individualist challenging the establishment, SF is criticizing the same capitalist society by profiting from it. if you want a message of not being a follower, don't send it out as a message to all ...then you are just doing the same thing except you want them to follow you...hence socialism...not really advocating for equality for all.
