|style="color:#000"|[[Obey Giant]] is a street art campaign and an experiment in phenomenology by artist [[Shepard Fairey]]. Its sole purpose is to make people question their surroundings. [[Shepard]] started the campaign in 1989 while attending [[RISD]] (Rhode Island School of Design). Though his "experiment in phenomenology" is pushed through [[stickers]] and [[prints]] alone, Shepard's other artistic works often include [[screen prints]] (including  [[Band Prints]]), [[skateboards]], [[clothing]], and [[toys]]. Although many of these works include imagery from the Obey Giant campaign, they are not regularly considered part of it.

Welcome to The Giant...

The Definitive Obey Giant Site

This encyclopedia's goal is to encompass all things Shepard Fairey and Obey Giant. This is a community-based website which allows free editing of content. Our efforts here are strictly voluntary, so please don't deface this site. We welcome you to add, change, or modify content to better suit the needs of fellow posse members.

To make this happen, the wiki has been broken down into a few fundamental types:

Prints

example: Marilyn Warhol Print pages catalog all of the screen prints (on paper) Shepard Fairey has done over the years.

There are currently over 1100 prints cataloged with image, run size, date, and related data.

Fine Art

example: Doves Canvas - Red Fine Art pages catalog all of the gallery pieces Shepard Fairey has created over the years. These include screen prints on wood and metalm as well as one off canvas pieces.

Fine Art pieces are also cataloged with image, run size, date, provenance, and related data.

References

example: The Beatles References give a glimpse into the wide array of inspiration and imagry that Shepard Fairey uses throughout his pieces. These pages often show the artwork that pieces were based as well as the pieces that was created in its shadow.

Also all over the wiki are dozens of articles on everything Shepard. So look around some and enjoy everything the wiki has to offer.
