El street-artista pionero norteamericano Shepard Fairey alias OBEY...

Fairey, in his career, has watched street art evolve from a truly outlaw, unsupported art form into a commercially viable enterprise. It's confusing, now, figuring out what posters in urban areas are done by artists, and what posters are done by artists to advertise a product. Fairey himself has been on the receiving end of criticism for his work in advertising (remember Sprite's "Obey Your Thirst" campaign?) and he is honest about the ironies of being a rebel artist for hire.
"People want the medium to be the message of free speech and be accessible to people without many resources -- like David has the chance against Goliath," Shepard said. "It's a bummer that these companies are taking that space. But artists and designers need money, right? It's just bad when they give up technical and stylistic secrets."
