Shepard Fairey: Supply and Demand

by Jeff Squires

ObeySupply and Demand is the definitive guide to the work of mysterious street artist Shepard Fairey.  Over the last 17 years, the South Carolina native has become notorious around the world for screwing with his audience’s subconscious through his thought provoking art.

Most likely, you have already unknowingly fallen victim to one of his many nonsensical images critiquing mass media and its numbing effects on an already image saturated society

The satirical artist’s entire body of work has been packed into this massive 350-page, color illustrated, hardback.  The book includes his posters, flyers, stickers, silkscreens, citations, exhibitions, and even police beatings.

Now you can finally figure out what all those OBEY stickers are really all about…and why Andre the Giant has a posse?
