Did you notice that during the last couple months of the presidential campaign that Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obama Hope was everywhere?

Tokion Magazine was founded in 1996 and began devoting many pages to the then still-taboo topic of graffiti. “Neo-graffiti” is a term they coined in the title of their Neo-Graffiti Project 2000, which featured classic subway graffiti artists working in new media. This was back in ‘99. It’s practically ten years later and a [...]

Last weekend I was lucky enough to squeeze myself through the hipster masses and check out the new Shepard Fairey (of Obey fame) show happening at the Shooting Gallery & White Walls in San Francisco.

Thursday, August 14, 2008
When I wrote about Buff Monster’s series 2 figures here, I was kind of shocked at a pricetag of $29.99 for a mini-figure. But that’s nothing compared to what’s about to occur over the next two months. Way back in April, Sunny brought news of Phillips de Pury & Company to ToyCyte regarding their auction [...]

Thursday, July 10, 2008
This is one of the most fun collabs that’s crossed my desk, and it’s not just because I’m a child of the 80s. As previously blogged here, Shepard Fairey did the package design and a screen-printed poster for Billy Idol’s new Idolize Yourself collection. Now the men behind two enduringly iconic faces (Shepard’s Andre [...]

Wednesday, July 9, 2008
Sea No Evil is an art show benefiting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Remember when Kurt Cobain sang about it being OK to eat fish because they don’t have any feelings?
