Obey: Supply & Demand - The Art of Shepard Fairey

My boyfriend is a Shepard Fairey fan so this looked like a promising Christmas gift. I wasn't sure I was going to get this at first because I thought it might be cheesey but I read the reviews and they were all positive. I received it on time before Christmas, like promised and wrapped it in the Amazon box it came in so he wouldn't have a clue what it could be. Once he opened it, he was so excited becuase he had read about the book but had not been able to see it in person. He couldn't / can't put it down. He's a graphic designer and is always sketching and creating so this book is another source of inspiration for him and he loves that it's not just photos of Shepard Fairey's work but a lot of back stories behind each piece. The book's a great addition to our growing library of art books and even looks great on our coffee table, if he hasn't taken it with him to another room in our apt. Haha! Also, a great conversation starter! This turned out to be a better gift than expected!

My Son and 2 Grandsons are huge into skateboarding, and Obey is one of the hottest sources of skate graphics. We bought this as part of my younger -- 16-year-old -- Grandson's birthday present. I consider it the definitive Shepard Fairey book. Fairey recently came to our hood and painted some public murals. My younger Grandson recently got his driver's license and car and makes a point of driving by the closest mural and pointing it out to his passengers. My Grandson also bought me one of the limited-edition Obey Dirk posters, celebrating Dirk Nowitsky and the Dallas Mavericks' 2011 World Championship. We are all big Mavs fans and go to their games and other events as often as we are able.

This is a tremendous overview of this current-day artitst, pre-Hope poster. It gives a very good outline of the span of his work. I always wondered how someone who is known for his "public space" art would present his work and now I have my answer.His art, it's presentation and availability to the general public ushers in a new era and to own a book of his art is gratifying.Perhaps now if the Boston Police Department would take some time to understand art everything would be alright. Though the irony of it all can not be missed.

This version (20th Anniversary Edition)of Supply and Demand is simply put...just amazing. One sees the growth of Shepard's work from the previous edition (2006) until now. There is plenty of the Obama stuff which made me first take notice of this "underground" street artist. And...in the same way that Picasso's work came to dominate the first half of the 20th century and Warhol's the second, Shepard's work will come to dominate the first half of the 21st century. It's that good. Simply amazing.

I've been collecting Fairey's work for over a decade now and wanted to buy this book to see how he would put his collection together. This book is super fancy and heavy with hundreds of glossy pictures. The book layout is pretty cutting edge and gives you a youth fill not like some other art books where they have only one picture of someones artwork on a single page. If you like his artwork, you should buy this.

I love Shepard Fairey's work and being in India this book is not available here, so had to buy it on amazon.Its a great book for those who love street art and its very comprehensive book with loads of high quality images and good amount of description.a free poster is always good :)

I love the book. I'm a fan of Shepard Fairey and his book is wonderful, full of images on every page and a great look into his career and life as an artist, but a few days after I opened the book from its shrinkwrap, it started to curl or cup, making it a bit harder to flip through pages. This surprised me as it is a hardcovered book, and I don't keep it in a wet environment.Aside from this frustrating phenomenon, the book is a great buy and a wonderful price on amazon compared to almost twice the price at retail stores.

Supply & Demand is to say the least stunning. High quality paper, a tight secure binding, and beautiful photos make this book one that you MUST own. Anything you ever wanted to know about Fairey, his OBEY campaign, and all of his other marvelous work is right here and presented masterfully. Get this as soon as you can.

Ottimo Libro sull'artista soprannominato Obey, completo e perfetto per il rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliato a tutti le persone che iniziano ad interessarsi dell'artista

Shepard Fairey ist ein zeitgenössischer Street-Art Künstler, Grafiker und Illustrator aus der Skateboard-Szene und wurde zunächst mit seiner André the Giant Has a Posse-Aufkleber-Kampagne bekannt. In Supply and Demand zeigt auf auf 100 Seiten - 20 Jahre seiner Kunst. Jeden Cent wert. Ich schlage das Buch regelmäßig auf um mich inspirieren zu lassen.

海外の画集でなかなか手に入らなかったのでとてもうれしいです！内容も充実しています。

Really great book for any street art or street wear fan. There a lot of quality and attention that went in the making of this book. Makes for a cool coffee table piece — certainly a must read for whoever sits in front of it.
