OBEY FERG

I once again used the “FERG” idea for this project; just for this one I used a different image and a different process.  I used silk screening to put this image onto a shirt this time. Unfortunately the silk screen did not work out as well as I had hoped and the image came out a little messy on the shirt. So instead of putting the image on just once I decided to add the image multiple times to make the image look like it was meant to be like that to work with the shirt.

With this project I decided I wanted to make the image look like the “obey” image. I loved the obey image for the simplicity, yet the deeper meaning in the image. The simple words of “OBEY” work very powerfully with the image. So I tried to recreate this image and parody it a little bit with my words “FERG.” The creator of “OBEY” Shepard Fairey, a legendary street artist originally printed this image on sticker and used as an experiment to see how it would manifest itself. Well it manifested hugely as “OBEY” is now a clothing brand. Maybe one day “FERG” will have gone through the same manifestation.
