Shepard Fairey Inc.: Artist/Professional/Vandal

I absolutely loved G. James Daichendt's last book, Stay Up! Los Angeles Street Art, so when I heard that not only was he coming out with a new book about Shepard Fairey, but that he compares him to Thomas Kinkade, I was sold! I have been long awaiting this new book and as always, Daichendt astounds! The visuals and insight create a beautiful work of art in and of itself, often moreso than the topics it highlights. Whether you are an avid reader, underground graffiti writer, gallery curator or part of any other creative field, this is a MUST READ story!

Great and unique look at Shepard Fairey. The pictures are amazing, and the text content is very thorough. Definitely worth the read and buy for anyone interested in Shepard Fairey and Street Art.

Love Obery!

It brings you into Shephard and his work. A great book for people wanting to learn about the biggest street artist in the United States.

The book is beautifully designed with a fabulous array of images. Compelling text. A great overview of the work of Shepard Fairey.

Well-written piece. Design is great. I gained a broader respect for Shepard and his art. Another cool piece by Daichendt.

thumbs up

I love this book! Harvard Grad, Associate Dean and Professor G.James Daichendt does it again with another great book! This is a beautiful looking book with great photos and it's also interesting and fun to read. This is NOT a fluff, kiss A$$ book about Shepard Fairey. This is an honest look at one of the most important, famous, infamous and influential artists of our time. This is an awesome book. I don't usually buy books unless I plan to look at them over and over. This is one of those books! Buy one for yourself and buy one as a gift for any street art/graffiti fan in your family. A+

An observation of the evolution of the artists career. This book outlines what Shepard aims to convey through his chosen medium but mainly focusses on how the 'Obey' label materialised, legal obstacles graffiti artists are confronted with and what his followers connect with eg what it means to be part of a sub culture/ scene . It outlines his success as a business entrepreneur and educator, and highlights his ability to create pieces of art which appeal to people from all socio economic backgrounds. It also explores the differences between graffiti and street artists and displays examples which show how artists have overcome the battle to attain legal public spaces to showcase their work.

I libro ripercorre una fase artistica dell'artista...se amate Shepard Fairey la street art.. l'arte in genere.. ve lo consiglio.

Très bien, reçu très vite
