Obey Giant


I've been a fan of Obey Giant for a while but hadn't realised that it/they/he had a cool website. Obey Giant started off, as far as I know, as global street poster campaign that merged an obsession with Andre the Giant and communist-era propganda design. It was kind of like an ultra-hip advertising campaign for a product that doesn't exist. Like the work of Banksy it combines a sharp and subversive sense of humour with some serious design skills. It's worth a look round the Obey Giant site just to check out the work but you can also buy posters online which is tempting despite the pitiful state of the Rand at the moment. sigh.
