Awesome Posters and Flyers from the OBEY Giant Archives

Spent a few hours digging through the heavy and rich archives of the OBEY website, so here's some cool gig posters, show flyers, album sleeves and prints by Shephard Fairey and OBEY that I've never seen before.

New Poster: Obey + Atrak Collaboration

OBEY and ATRAK collaborated recently to create this rad poster.  Who can contest a well-styled, blinged-out chicken burning a cabin on fire with his cigar?

You can purchase the poster set or the cd from 80sPurple here.

New OBEY poster for the documentary 180 South

From OBEY's news snippet:

"Signed by Shepard Fairey and Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia).

180 South is a new film retracing the 1968 journey of Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (founder of North Face) across South America. The film is told through the eyes of climber/surfer/writer Jeff Johnson over a six-month trek, conveying a unique voice for environmentalism based on experience rather than pie charts and idealism.  

180 South and OBEY have teamed up to raise awareness about the destruction of one of the last remaining wild places on earth. The area, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is being threatened by relentless development, including the Hidro Aysen dam proposal. This includes the construction of five dams on the Pascua and the Baker River."

Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant seems to be doing work for not-so-typical clients lately; the Henry Rollins and Stephen Colbert prints definitely surprised me.  I can't say much about how much Goodness is in those posters (I doubt that the colbert one was actually touched by Shepard's hand...looks like something you could draft up in Illustrator...while forgetting completely about the type).  However, the typography and geometry is VERY appealing in the first one, and I hope that's not arguable.  See more OBEY in our previous posts.

Some newer and older posters from Obey.
Some say Shepard is losing his touch with his newer work after his image really got bigger after the establishment of obey and his print work for the Obama campaign.

Either way, he's still laying it down on the government with his art direction that represents a voice much larger than his own, offering inspiration and affecting others to do work.
