(Hardcover Book) “Obey: Supply & Demand—The Art Of Shepard Fairey.” By Shepard Fairey, Roger Gastman, Steven Heller, Carlo McCormick, Helen Stickler, Kevin Taylor & Rob Walker. Book Description: “Introduction: When I Made The First Giant Stickers In 1989, I Never Thought I Was Beginning A Project That Would Inspire And Permeate Most Of My Art And Career For The Next 17 Years And Counting. At 19, I Had No Idea What I Would Be Doing A Week Later, Much Less A Decade Or Two. Putting Up Stickers Was Fun, And That Was Enough To Get The Ball Rolling. The Act Of Getting Out There For The Journey Without A Brilliant Plan Or Destination Opened My Eyes To The World As A Participant, Not A Voyeur. Part Of The Success Of Obey Giant Has Been It’s Organic Evolution Based On My Constant Dialogue With The Public And My Broadening Perspective Through My Experiences. Rather Than Being Constrained By Obey Giant, I’ve Molded It To Reflect My Personality And My Interests As They’ve Progressed Over The Years. When I Was You get, I Bought Into The Typical Black-And-White, Us-Versus-Them Simplification Of Things: Provocation And Silliness Can’t Mix, A Job Has To Be Drudgery, A Passion Is Reserved For Nights And Weekends, And Art Can’t Be Pure If It Has A Commercial Facet. All That Began To Seem Less Valid As Every Small Accomplishment With Obey Giant Made It Seem Increasingly Possible To Do Things My Way…” Make An Offer. Willing To Work With Price.
