He's talented dude. Even you can't deny that.

You could have gone to the QBN Sessions and told Shepard Fairey what you think of his work in person.

(Sep 7 07, 09:45)I'm aware of the history behind obey, thanks.
Tommyo said it better than me

But Obey is an established company that has been around for at LEAST 10 years. I have an obey shirt from like 1999.

(Sep 7 07, 09:39)There's a saying for a guy that keeps a t-shirt for 8 years - single

(Sep 7 07, 09:55)I could have but then I would have had to buy a ticket which in turn supports him. I could however find someone who has an 8 year old Obey t-shirt and ask them to send it to me. I could then make a video of me burning it and then posting it on youtube with obey tags. This in fact would cost me nothing

it's all love though

A good friend of mine is a painter and they both had their work displayed for a show ... my friend went up to Shep to introduce himself and say hi ... he got blown off. I don't like the dude.

I just sheppard took his own advice

Yeah he is. I wouldn't deny that. I think it's a shame when people who are so talented keep beating the same drum...it's boring now. All in the name of $$. If I had a buck for every tool I've seen wearing an Obey t-shirt I could buy everyone on NT drinks for a year. Thats the problem...his ethos is anti-establishment which means it shouldn't be as accessible as it is. I can't wait till they're on sale at WalMart!! haha!
And that's not even bringing up all the RIPing they've done...his ripoffs of the clothing label FUCT is legendary:

hey man, like if suddenly j c penny comes to you and asks you if you are willing to sell that "little underground project of yours" on their chain of stores to massive ammounts of people so you can retire early you are all going to say no, while looking at this guy in a suit holding a bag of money.
- tommyo0
If your ethos IS underground anti-establishment...it is a wrong move. Don't make your company an anti-establishment deal if you're going to open the door to dudes with bags of cash.

Hey dobs...I'm blocking you forever. You're like a scared 12 year old girl. Trembling with fear in front of this huge roller coaster called 'Screamer.' Her dad is standing next to her trying to convince her that everything will be fine.
Except you're a balding 30 something man and that roller coaster is called, 'Life'. You're deathly afraid of getting on it and you're alone. You and your bike. Oh and this website where you waste the day showing off how much you don't know about this roller coaster you're way to afraid of.
I'm ignoring you now. Because you're a dumb little pussy without
