Even me, who thinks every damn thing Fairey ever did is boring as hell and has zero love for him...even I'm hoping this is just a style ripoff by an ad agency. Except they probably drew the angry mob, Shep would have scanned it from some Russian poster from 1919.

It's probably fake, since that dumbass star that says "OBEY" in it is nowhere to be found. You know, the one that gets CTRL-V'd into every damn print he puts out.

I agree, I think this is a fake. If its not, shep has fallen farther into the abyss than I thought.

It's probably a real ad, just probably not by Shepard Fairey.

Besides, isn't this more a take-off on classic Russian propaganda posters, not the one famous dude that ripped them off for awhile?

I don't think that this was done by Fairey:

Its totally not real, I just couldn't help myself with all the anticipation threads and the frenzy revolving around Fairey releases. Sadly, no one else is ROFLing but me.

I got a kick out of it.

I heard the green M&M print is lucky and will give you lots of sex. :D

i think most fairy prints work best in wannabe rebel teenager's rooms.
