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 five years the Obey Giant propaganda campaign had been spread across the US.

Eventually Shepard started making visual variations, reworking the face in Russian constructivist styles and working it into different graphic contexts to produce the breadth of work we now see.
