A revealing collection of quotations from the world-renowned artist and political activist behind the iconic Obama Hope poster and the Obey Giant street-art campaign

Shepard Fairey is one of today's most important and influential street artists, activists, and graphic designers. His instantly recognizable designs--André the Giant has a Posse, Obey Giant, the Obama Hope poster, and the We the People posters for the 2017 Women's March--have become an indelible part of visual culture, appearing in countless media, including stickers, stencils, prints, T-shirts, album covers, murals, and fine art. Fairey-isms is a compelling collection of quotations from this fascinating artist. Gathered from interviews, articles, and other sources, these quotations offer rich insights about his life and work, including his thoughts on art, creativity, politics, and propaganda and his reflections on his influences--from skateboarding, The Clash, and Public Enemy to Russian Constructivism and artists such as Futura, Barbara Kruger, and Andy Warhol.
