hypebeast, your videos are too short. you said his collection, you showed 3 t shirts, you showed more of his art then the actual t shirt collection itself.
Yup, Fairey is the height of hypocrisy.
Fairey, along with Damien Hirst, another marketing genius and 'artistic Icon', are part of our downward spiral where art is concerned.
He detached himself from any relationship he had to 'street art' and the avant-garde when it came to his attitude towards appropriation.
He appropriates but as soon as anyone else 'appropriates his already appropriated 'art', Fairey immediately sues them, or gets his top-end lawyers to send out send C & D letters. You just have to Google the amount of people Fairey has tried to stop making art from similar images he used and the ways he worked.
#ShepardFairey and his #Obey bollocks stand in part for everything that is wrong, contradictory and hypocritical within an already vile and hypocritical 'art' world.
Yes, as artists we all have to make money but there are self-imposed limits, lines that once crossed make you into the antithesis of everything you pretend to portray.
Some artists STILL make art for its own sake and do other jobs to supplement their poverty.
Perhaps Fairey had a moral compass in his early years but it would be difficult to find now that it's stuck so far up his corporate arse.
Didn't proof-read, no apologies.
Dude come on. People are free to wear what they want, how does it effect you? Shirts are art, as much as your prints are art. You would be against someone buying your stuff if they didn’t know the entire catalog or history behind it?
I bought an punk rock shirt once at a Ross because they had no nice tee shirts and I was tired of looking for clothes. Let me tell you that so many people liked them and though I liked them too but I was embarrassed to say I didn’t lol
if shepard fairey used to be a legitimate artist before become a complete hack and creating the shittiest quality, over priced, nasty ass streetwear brand ever conceived, more power to him. but i'm not really a shepard fairey fan i don't really care what he does, i will not allow shepard fairey taint street art for me.
google "obey"
click "images"
I was cracking up about that girl who bought the shirt from urban outfitters. Seen shit like that too many times.
Thank god hes fine with that
the post pop depression shirt is really "vintage"... can't be older than a year - only because iggy pop is on it, it doesn't mean its "vintage" ;)
Philip Anselmo should probably ruin Pantera for you.
Geez wish i was as cool as this guy who knows everything about everyone
Chandler Crews one day you may
If obey wants to talk a lot off bullshit... "I'm ok with that" ..... Piff.
Wow..three t-shirts. Is that the collection?
Ya'll roasting him for his OBEY brand, but if you were in his shoes as an artist, you'd do the same to make a dime. That's how you survive these days as an artist. You gotta sell shit. People who say "sell-out" is the stupidest thing I've heard. You rather see these artists die broke and starve ? Lol. DaVinci was commissioned to do art, just like many other greats .. different times, different ways to make money
Maybe Obey fell off, but it marketed his art work even more to a larger audience outside the street art niche.
Though, I have no idea why he ripped on JB. I'm not a JB fan but let people wear whatever the hell they want to wear. If they get called out for not knowing the music, that's their fault but that shouldn't stop them from wearing it lmao
I N F I N I T I V Justin Bieber is wearing vintage band tees and making them popular. Causing every fucker that can't think for themselves to copy him. But it's really jerry Lorenzo's fault.
lala lala lol
Anyone knwo the song name that started at 13 seconds?! :O

Wear what you like to wear!
I wear obey shirt even before i know this guy...cos i Like the design
just like band tees...thats it.
Appreciate! dont be a Drama Queen.
this guy gets mad at people in public for not knowing the band on their shirt? chill tf out its not that serious
He's saying what every music nerd thinks in their head when they see a poser on the street. Say you like a sports team and someone you know dislikes em, but then they win a championship, and the next day they're wearing that teams shirt. Wouldn't that tick you off at least a little bit? It's the same thing.
I love champagne socialists!
Don't compare yourself to khanye west. He sucks. Anybody can do what he do.
Prove everyone wrong and do it then. So many people hate Obey and Yeezys but for a long time Obey was one of the most popular brands on the market, and Yeezys still sell out with every single drop.
