Obey The Giant (Documentary Trailer) [Video]



Based on the true story of Shepard Fairey’s first act of street art, OBEY THE GIANT tells the story of a young skate punk challenging a big-city mayor and the powers-that-be at art school. Frustrated by his inability to gain respect within the confines of art school Shepard sets out to gain notoriety and acclaim by targeting the most powerful man in Providence, former Mayor Buddy Cianci. Risking expulsion and jail time Shepard plasters Andre the Giant’s face over the image of Cianci on a campaign billboard. As word of Shepard’s prank gets out, Shepard learns that art is a weapon and attention is both a blessing and a curse.

Agenda: A Conversation with Shepard Fairey [Video]



At a recent event dedicated to Obey, David Gallardo was able to catch up with the world famous man behind the brand, Shepard Fairey. While clothing is a rapidly expanding and still relatively new venture for Fairey, it seems he has a solid grasp creatively of where he thinks Obey is and where it ought to be. During the interview he offers up words of wisdom in that while all fashion designers look to one another for trends, at the end of the day collections are and should be filtered through ones own sensibilities. On a less philosophical note he discusses things like his love for food trucks and his perennial musical interest in the first Clash album, all of which contribute to a light-hearted yet insightful discussion.
