Shepard Fairey was drawn to making art since he was young. A curious mind, a strong work ethic, an inspired creative spirit, a growing compassion for the situations of others, and a deepening understanding of the intricacies of how our world works (and yes, more than a touch of a 'rebel spirit' nurtured by skateboard culture and punk rock) has shaped the work of that young artist into some of the most powerful, most well known, and most consequential art of our time.  Art that matters! Do you know his work? Yes, absolutely you do, although you may not know it, because for Fairey - pronounced as you would the "tooth-_____" (no relation) - the goal has never been acclaim or notoriety. His effort always leans - and more often, strides - toward problem solving, commentary, action, and urging, more often pushing us to think and care about others, to care about democracy, and justice, to care about the growing privilege of some often at the expense of others. Is there more to say?  Yes, of course! Here's what Wikipedia begins with "Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is an American contemporary artist, activist and founder of OBEY Clothing who emerged from the skateboarding scene. In 1989 he designed the "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (...OBEY...) sticker campaign while attending the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).""Fairey designed the Barack Obama "Hope" poster for the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, has described him as one of the best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond; and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London."But that barely scratches the surface.I had a wonderful conversation with Shepard. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.https://obeygiant.com/https://obeyclothing.com/

Shepard Fairey is an American graphic artist and social activist who is part of the Street Art movement along with other artists including Banksy and Mr.Brainwash. Fairey blurs the boundary between traditional and commercial art through type and image, communicating his brand of social critique via prints, murals, stickers, and posters in public spaces. “Art is not always meant to be decorative or soothing, in fact, it can create uncomfortable conversations and stimulate uncomfortable emotions,” he stated. Born on February 15, 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992 where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in illustration. In 1989 Fairey created the André the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, featuring a stylized image of the wrestler André the Giant. This project  was the foundation for his seminal Obey series, which helped to push Fairey into the public spotlight. The artist is perhaps best known for his Hope (2008) campaign, which portrays a portrait of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, in red, white, and blue. In 2017, the artist created a series of three posters— featuring portraits of culturally diverse women, again using a red, white, and blue color scheme—in response to the xenophobic rhetoric of President-elect Donald Trump. Fairey currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. His works are included in the collections of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.In 2019 Maggie visited Shepard's Studio Number One in Los Angeles and they talked about his earliest influences, musically and artistically and why it's important for artists to "Get Up, Stand Up" Source: http://www.artnet.com/artists/shepard-fairey/Source: https://obeygiant.comThis episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Rock Profiles adapted for podcast.

“I want to be transparent that any image with an agenda (which is actually most images) is a form of propaganda. It’s just whether you try to hide that fact or whether you’re honest about it.”-Shepard Fairey My guest this week is Shepard Fairey- he is an artist and a self-titled propagandist who is perhaps most known for his HOPE Obama Poster or for his Andre the Giant Has A Posse OBEY Campaign. If you’ve lived near any American metropolis, you’ve probably seen his work stenciled onto the sides of various buildings or as a sticker slapped on the back of a fire hydrant. Recently, his series We The People featured Latinas, Native Americans, Muslims and African Americans, and could be seen at nearly every protest and rally in the country. Shepard’s also quite the philanthropist - he and his wife Amanda started a campaign called Make America Smart Again, which called for Americans be more informed, involved, and engage in healthy dialogues with one another. For this episode, we analyzed a question from Shishuraj Karmalkar from Mumbai, India. Shishuraj asked, “How do you wrestle with the statement that artists are 'selfish' since they're off worrying about their art, and not devoting more energy to political rebellion in troubled times?” Shepard and I discussed how art can transform from something selfish to selfless, the intended (and unintended) message art can convey, and if you can ever truly divorce art from politics. He also answered an off-topic question about God with a reference to the movie Dodgeball, so that was pretty cool. If you have a question about the creative process, that you think would spawn a good conversation on this show, ask me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter tagged #creativeprocessing, or by emailing creativeprocessing@hitrecord.org. New episodes are coming out every Tuesday through October 22, 2019. ABOUT THE GUEST: In 1989, while at Rhode Island School of Design studying for his Bachelor of Fine Art in Illustration (which he earned in 1992), Shepard Fairey created the “Andre the Giant has a Posse” sticker that later evolved into the OBEY GIANT art campaign. In 2008, his portrait of then-Democratic candidate Barack Obama became an internationally recognized emblem of hope. Since then, Fairey has painted nearly 100 public murals, become one of the most sought-after and provocative artists in the world, and changed the way people converse about art and view the urban landscape.

This week on chicken out theatre, Joel decided he couldn't take Tetsuo the Iron Man, and so the other host acquiesced to watching the 1988 movie They Live. Directed by John Carpenter, you can't help but love the balls on a movie like this. When was the last time a movie stood up to the establishment and said "Hey! You are real ugly! Also, stop brainwashing us!"RIP Roddy Piper, you were freaking fantastic in this movie.Email: pleasedontpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @outerspacepodFacebook: facebook,com/pdsmiosShow Notes:Tetsuo the Iron Man (nsfw) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV4EMQOt7CI Al Leong - http://letterboxd.com/actor/al-leong/ Twilight Zone - https://www.google.com/search?q=twilight+zone+aliens&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5q4HitfzNAhVD4SYKHftIBT8Q_AUIBygC Subliminal Messages - http://mentalfloss.com/article/67223/7-sneaky-subliminal-messages-hidden-ads OBEY - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_the_Giant_Has_a_Posse Jem & the Holograms - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHNdfttH1xM Aliens with Dreadlocks - https://www.google.com/search?q=aliens+with+dreads&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiNwruXt_zNAhWI7SYKHZ6UDNUQ_AUIBigB Roddy Piper Shirtless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avEpDWdh0ag Noam Chomsky - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent Roddy Piper telling someone off - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NkPIbtVMPA Duke Nukem quote (nsfw) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9G-3MD9zNQ Hulkamania - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrxoxmsPalw Keith David - http://letterboxd.com/actor/keith-david/ Evil-lyn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfHZH-nnTPg Cool ranch doritos and mountain dew - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-11-13/doritos-flavored-mountain-dew-the-genius-of-pepsicos-gross-out-marketing Wayne's World sell out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjB6r-HDDI0 District 9 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLUwOcR5pk Avatar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PSNL1qE6VY Them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4URRp39XOo Billywhack monster - http://www.weirdca.com/location.php?location=76 Wolfenstein 3D - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgfEQo5aNh4 Nose bleed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLxwFrnmEtE Trunks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=868NCW0jGrU
