Shepard Fairey is perhaps the most prolific street artist of them all, having reached all parts of the globe with his Obey Giant experiment in phenomenology.

In the late eighties when showing a friend how to make paper cut stencils a young Shepard Fairey came across a picture of the French wrestler Andre The Giant and the first “Andre The Giant Has A Posse” sticker was born.

Later shifting to the more concise "Obey Giant" tagline, within the next few years the Obey Giant propaganda campaign had spread across the US and Shepard Fairey's place as one of the most significant contemporary artists was assured.
