I'm a big fan of the OBEY/GIANT stuff myself too. I live in Chula Vista, which is outside of San Diego, so I've seen my share of the stickers and posters up around town. I think that now Shepard has actually moved back to LA (or at least the business part of his 'enterprise,' if you could call it that, has). Regardless, the guy's an awesome artist. There's something about it that brings out the true "big city - ghetto" feeling -- reminds me of when I used to live in Japan (where, by the way, it's also a big thing in certain parts of town). I'm totally supportive of this type of art and love seeing it around town. A true modern artist's triumph, if such a thing exists. --red On Mon, 05 Aug 2002 18:54:09 GMT, Faux_Pseudo <Fau...@yahoo.comERCIAL> spewed forth the following: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >- --<-(Tim leyos tos loyos emiv apo alt.ascii-art)->-- >> This can be viewed with or with out searching google groups. >> >> If you want to see it in color (it actually looks much better that >> way) go to http://groups.google.com and search for the folowing string >> in the following order; >> >> aa ae ao ea ee eo oa oe oo "giant" >> > >Did anyone see the story on slashdot.org about this type of ascii? > >By the way I don't know how big OBEY/Giant propaganda is in the rest >of the world/country but Shepard got kicked out of LA and moved to San >Diego so this stuff is everywhere down here.

Finally someone who agrees with me that Chula Vista is not part of San Diego. People there can be real touchy bout that. :) I remember when I first started working in Downtown and noticed OBEY/GIANT all over the place so after about a week or so of being continually exposed by it I hoped on google and did a look-see. And then it made sense. Mission accomplished for Shepard. ==)-> Xataleipw, Faux_Pseudo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9Tyshkjt2bc9NoGsRAoB4AJ47IOvXoaz9M6X4iOmOdddUgDCVgQCfdh5b +gpOtTa9+PqR17k6ilbvFh0= =R7TO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- .-')) _ UIN= 66618055 _ (('-. | It's a damn poor mind that ' ..- .:" ) ( ":. -..
