Best known as the artist who designed the iconic “Hope” poster for the Obama campaign, Frank Shepard Fairey is the mastermind behind “Obey Giant”, a populist “experiment in phenomenology”. To make the Obey Giant project one of the biggest art campaigns ever, Fairey put out countless spray paint stencils in the streets, 20,000 posters and over a million stickers.

Instead of roughing it up with the boys or kicking a football around in the fields, you would most probably find Rubens huddled up at home drawing, reading books and comics or listening to music while concocting his next masterpieces.

A little story… Once upon a time in a country far, far away lived an American cartoonist Axtor Disney. Axtor was an amazing magician, illustrator and musician, all in one. Together with his younger brothers Walter E. and Roy O. Disney, he founded The Walt Disney Company in 1923. So far so good...
