From exhibitions, posters, flyers, silkscreens and stickers to high altitude pursuits, citations and police beatings, it’s all documented in a museum quality layout and binding. The evidence is in, and it’s clear that Shepard Fairey is not one to rest on his laurels, the work must go on. For both longtime fans wanting the complete collection, and those just curious to know what this OBEY business is all about, Supply and Demand is the answer.
