The Motherload
Took in the Obey show on Brick Lane last week, which is utterly, utterly huge ....and every single piece is sold. Not bad when it was pretty clearly put together in situ from previous designs - and that's no criticism. It can get a bit samey, as it's all from the same few colours - but the size and ambition of the huge works is dazzling. GO. NOW. OBEY.
Incidentally, Shepard Fairey has also designed the cover artwork for the latest Led Zeppelin compilation Mothership. As he writes on his site: "If my art is 1 percent as good as this band I’m in good shape. What I’m trying to say is that the opportunity for me to hitch a ride on the coat tails of such an influential band is an honor and a coup".
