Obey Giant Posts

Free vector illustrations of Barack Obama, the 44^th US president and first African American president. Obama’s campaign catchphrase ‘Change you can believe in’ is a metaphor for his explosive political career and revolutionary tactics so far. His ultimate success or failure will depend on the ability to convert this slogan in real change, hope and progress. 

Best known as the artist who designed the iconic “Hope” poster for the Obama campaign, Frank Shepard Fairey is the mastermind behind “Obey Giant”, a populist “experiment in phenomenology”. To make the Obey Giant project one of the biggest art campaigns ever, Fairey put out countless spray paint stencils in the streets, 20,000 posters and over a million stickers. Today, the “Andre the Giant” image and “Obey giant” logos are true cultural icons, surfacing in exhibitions, TV shows and films.

Since the late eighties, Obey Giant has become a true urban icon and cultural phenomenon. The artworks, posters and prints that Shepard Fairey makes under the flag “Obey”, are influential and controversial symbols of modern pop art.
