Inside Shepard Fairey’s Studio- 08.12.08
Ok, so i am still kind of giddy from how awesome it was to meet Shepard Fairey and his studio pretty much blew my mind. To see what type of space other creatives work in is one thing… but to feel like you walked into a gallery filled with history and inspiration and visual food for thought in every detail, well that just floored me. I really need a larger space to spread out and fill the walls ~ how can you NOT be creative surrounded with all of that? For now, i share my wall of inspiration with you as NOTCOT.org, my portable digital version… you will enjoy exploring Shepard Fairey’s studio through the pics on the next page, and since there is so much in the details, i left the high res version for you to click through to.
And for the record, he was one of the kindest, humblest, down to earth folks i’ve met in a while. It was great to see that he still has so much passion for what he does, and gets down right giddy when talking about his new projects (and politics). Also above is a new print that he is releasing on Thursday at noon, Duality of Humanity 3 - if you want one, these things disappear within minutes.
From framed records to banksy to andre the giant over the door… click to view larger, so many details, i was spinning in circles trying to take it all in!
Curious what inspiration lies in their books? as with all pics in this post, click to zoom in… and that Obama poster is the official Obama campaign version signed by Obama himself in the logo…
I loved the little obama sticker on the side of the door… and that it was with the original andre the giant screen… nice juxtaposition of how far Shepard Fairey and Obey Giant have come/evolved over the last many years…
I didn’t know Shepard had so good taste in music. Bad Brains, Hüsker Dü, Misfits… awesome. And yeah, that studio is really something.
