- Conceiving

- Nov 07, 2020

- First Amendment Rights
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the case of the Obama poster, I was just exercising my First Amendment rights - and my free speech is exercised visually. People who want to talk or write in order to share an opinion about Obama can do that, but when I want to say what I think about him, I need to make a portrait.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never set out to be a groundbreaking artist in the sense of doing something that's never been done before. I set out to make stuff that communicated quickly and effectively, playing off of advertising, pop art, and pop culture.
- Clothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the reasons I started my clothing line was because I went into an Urban Outfitters, and they were bootlegging my star logo on T-shirts.
- Argument
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The argument that most lawmakers make about graffiti is that it's illegal because it's an eyesore, but you could easily argue that a lot of advertising is an eyesore.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Street art, of course, is political, because it's illegal, so the very act of doing it is an act of defiance.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to be proud of this country, but when aspects of our policy don't align with my ethics, I want to protest them and try to change them.

I was a huge Operation Ivy fan.
- Friend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tim Armstrong is a good friend.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People romanticize struggle and obscurity, and I get that, but it's a very one-dimensional argument to say that people who have money are evil, and artists who are poor are virtuous.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Greater financial success has allowed me to be more generous.
- Learning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If any group wants to not be disenfranchised, then understanding that there's going to be a learning curve for people who have disenfranchised them is important.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not going to be intimidated by people or identity politics. I think that's a dead end.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My idea about the role of artists is to get people to look at things in a way that's different than the way they normally would if they are being told how to think, what to do. I think when people receive information through art, they are more open-minded.
- Art
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that art has the ability to capture people's imaginations and make them think that more is possible.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hoped that Obama would be a delivery vehicle for change on issues I care about, but I never expect one politician to be the solution to the diverse array of issues I care about.
- Artist
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I consider myself a multi-platform artist - not just a street artist - but the audience I found through street art has created many of the opportunities I now have on other platforms.
- Barbara
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I made my Obey logo, it was 100 percent an homage to Barbara Kruger's work and 0 percent had anything to do with Supreme.
- Last
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When Justin Bieber started wearing the Obey bar logo, we discontinued it. That was kinda one of the last straws.
- Nov 07, 2020
I try to make my clothing line an entry point for discovering the substance of the rest of my work.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist.
- Communication
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The problem with copyright enforcement is that when the parameters aren't incredibly well defined, it means big corporations, who have deeper pockets and better lawyers, can bully people.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're creating something that has some sort of cultural currency - if the idea is getting out there - then that will probably yield money in some form, whether it's through selling art or selling books or being asked to give a lecture.
- Distaste
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, there has always been a disconnect with the sort of elitist structure of the high-art world - and my distaste for that is at odds with my feeling that art should aspire to do great things.
- Component
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Art shows and the institutions end up being the couriers for culture for the next generation and are an important component as well. It may seem ironic from one perspective, but I think if you look at my overall strategy, it's actually not out of step.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most campaigns rely on photographs because the moment you do something that is a graphic interpretation where any artistic license has been taken, I think a lot of people are scared that it's going to be perceived as propaganda.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Propaganda has a negative connotation, which it partially deserves, but I think there is some propaganda that is very positive. I feel that if you can do something that gets people's attention, then maybe they'll go and find out more about the person.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you walk down the street and see something in a crazy spot, there's something powerful about that. The street will always be an important part of getting art out there for me.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't have this obsessive need to do street art all the time because it's already opened doors for me.
