Obey: Supply & Demand 20th Anniversary Edition

Posted on by

As it gets colder, I find myself wanting to stay in and spend time with my book collection. Today, I grabbed my copy of Obey: Supply & Demand 20th Anniversary Edition to have another read through it. It is a hefty book, but completely worth the extra pounds. Plus, if you’ve been sitting awhile reading it, you can always do a few curls to make sure your svelte physique lasts through the cold weather. This book is a comprehensive collection of the growth of artist Shepard Fairey and his most recognizable moniker and street art project, Obey. Through Fairey’s own words and the words of respected authors, writers, artists and critics in the art community, including Roger Gastman, co-author of The History of American Graffiti, the reader learns more about the history, process and motivation behind Fairey’s journey as an artist as well as his run ins with the law and thoughts on other artists.  The book’s coverage is extensive and well presented, with a stellar amount of images of Fairey’s work throughout the years. And it doesn’t hurt that when purchasing this book, you also get a free color poster.

TIME Magazine Person Of The Year 2011 – The Protester | Cover By Shepard Fairey

They are without a singular identity or a singular ideal. And yet they move in masses as if they were a conscious organism, ready to give voice to the silenced, remedy the unjust, and challenge the status quo. They are the protesters you’ve seen on your nightly news broadcasts or at Zuccotti Park if you live in New York City. And come this week, they will also be TIME Magazine Person Of The Year for 2011. Beating out Admiral William McRaven, Congressman Paul Ryan, future queen Kate Middleton, and a protester himself, artist Ai Weiwei, TIME profiled Mohamed Bouazizi, whose self-immolation led the start of so-called Arab Spring, and the 18 days that took down Egypt strongman, President Hosni Mubarak. It also highlighted the Occupy movement stateside and Loukanikos, the famous dog who participated at every protests this year in Athens. One other familiar element will be the magazine’s cover art, done by Shepard Fairey, an agent provocateur himself. Crafted in a likeness that is neither male or female, nor any race, nationality, religious orientation, the image is in relation to the overall movement, be it in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, or the U.S.
