OBEY, why yes, I will.

So basically I have decided that OBEY is the shit. Taglined "Manufacturing quality dissent since 1989" OBEY is most definitely extremely clever and equally eye catching. Hell their tagline is enough to catch my attention, creating dissent and challenging popular opinion while making money is a hell of an accomplishment.

I was first introduced (and you probably were to, unknowingly of course) to OBEY and Shepard through the progress Obama posters that surfaced during the election. Needless to say they were dope and seen and replicated EVERYWHERE.

I very recently (like today) found out that the people at OBEY are not only responsible for one of THE most popular campaign posters of all time, but for dozens of other stickers, posters, and other print ads that challenge popular opinion and promote social change.

And while there are def other organizations that strive toward these goals, NO ONE is doing this in the major crazy way that they are. And I know, I know Cali people, I probably a bit late, OBEY's been doing their thing out there for a while now. But anywho as time progressed and as I looked deeper into OBEY and its products, I have become completely enthralled by it.

Money, cars, jewelry are all nice but supporting free thinking and opposing commonly held ideas are things that are in short supply in this world. Support anti-war sentiments, support immigration reform, support free thinking and whatever else you want just as long as you support shit that matters.
