Showcasing Fairey's entire body of work, from his early OBEY Giant campaign to his prodigious print output, increasingly ambitious large scale street work and beyond, this massive retrospective covers 20 colorful years. Fairey helped catalyze a movement from his unique vantage at the intersection of art, popular culture and Design and this tome documents it all. Through the lens of esteemed writers and critics such as Carlo McCormick, Steven Heller, Henry Rollins, Rob Walker, Roger Gastman and more, readers can learn about Shepard Fairey, the roots of the omnipresent OBEY street art campaign, his design practice and prolific gallery exhibitions. This massive book pulls no punches and all areas of the enigmatic artist's work, travels and travails are illuminated. 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 long time fans wanting the complete collection and those just curious to know what this OBEY business is all about, Supply and Demand is the answer.

This version (20th Anniversary Edition)of Supply and Demand is simply put...just amazing. One sees the growth of Shepard's work from the previous edition (2006) until now. There is plenty of the Obama stuff which made me first take notice of this "underground" street artist. And...in the same way that Picasso's work came to dominate the first half of the 20th century and Warhol's the second, Shepard's work will come to dominate the first half of the 21st century. It's that good. Simply amazing.

If you're an Obey fan, and don't have his earlier "Supply and Demand" book, then there's no further questioning needed. Everything you want, plue more. Great book

I really liked this book. Excellent photography, great and unique art, good covers and a free poster.
It is very interesting to follow the steps in Shepard Fairey evolution until the actual success of OBEY.

This book is filled with gorgeous full-page photos of Fairey's work and has some awesome insight into how he got to where he is in life. If you even have a slight interest in his work or even Fairey as a person, you need this book.

I bought this this book for my husband and he loves it. The compilation of prints from Farley all captured in one book is really great.

My Son and 2 Grandsons are huge into skateboarding, and Obey is one of the hottest sources of skate graphics. We bought this as part of my younger -- 16-year-old -- Grandson's birthday present. I consider it the definitive Shepard Fairey book. Fairey recently came to our hood and painted some public murals. My younger Grandson recently got his driver's license and car and makes a point of driving by the closest mural and pointing it out to his passengers. My Grandson also bought me one of the limited-edition Obey Dirk posters, celebrating Dirk Nowitsky and the Dallas Mavericks' 2011 World Championship. We are all big Mavs fans and go to their games and other events as often as we are able.

I used to think he was a pretty good artist until I searched around the web and found he plagiarizes all his work from old posters and paintings. Read more
