naturgesetz said...: I notice that the word "obey" appears in at least some of the small rows. Interesting that it is outside "Code of Conduct." Do you thing there is a connection?

Anyway, it's a striking mural.; May 25, 2011 at 2:53 PM

I wish I was exotic looking. I am so average, I make a "C" look thrilling.; May 26, 2011 at 12:46 PM

sMacThoughts said...: The artist is Shepard Fairey and "Obey" was part of a sticker campaign he had started out with, which really had no strong meaning other than to perhaps make the audience react in some way. They are all over my city and cities all over the world, a stencil of wrestler Andre the Giant and the word "Obey", "Obey Giant" or just the word "Obey" . He may now be considered a 'sell out', but his work is so beautiful. I saw his last show here in my neighborhood a year ago, and was blown away to see the work up close (other than the graffiti and paste-ups I've seen for ever).; May 27, 2011 at 10:02 PM
BosGuy said...: I love Shepard Fairey. He created a number of images similar to this through out my neighborhood a couple of years ago. I snapped some pics and posted them at the time. He's really an amazing talent.; May 31, 2011 at 10:17 PM
