Which "stuff" are you referring to?
Well, I guess you could say any of it beyond the original logo. But I guess I had more the endless run of posters, prints, album covers, apparell, skate decks, toys, stickers, giftwrap, stationary, books, magazines ads, marketing and promotional materials, etc. Basically anything that you could slap a OBEY or Giant logo on . . . that, "stuff."
So, since no-one has chosen to respond to my original question; should I take that to mean that it is generally assumed that Shep may 'art-direct' but he has interns that design essentially everything he puts out, and he signs his name to the prints once they move past the design and printing phases in Obey Propaganda print studio/factory process and that people accept this reality because he is the man that built the brand that was not a brand from the ground up and started the whole counter-culture movement that has become and estabolished industry w/ 'giant' corporations on it's client roster?

(how was that for a run-on sentance . . . take that English majors!)
