Shepard Fairy master of Obey Giant, much in demand by mainstream art collectors since creating the now famous “Hope” and “Progress” Obama prints. He started his street art life with Andre the Giant has a Posse stickers while attending RISD in Providence RI in the early 1990′s.
Neil has become a huge fan of Shepard in the last couple years spending hours to grab a print when they drop on the Obey Giant website. The multi-layer screen prints show master of talent. The prints are filled with politics at its core, propaganda at its finest. I admire once the prints reach the house and only wish we could now afford to get all of them framed properly.
