Graffiti T-Shirt is a graffiti artist who specialises in stencil and stickers. Obey has become something of a phenomenon in that "Andre has a posse" and that posse is headed by Obey aka Shepard Fairey who started stencilling images of the pro wrestler Andre The Giant on walls world wide. Obey captured the imagination of the generation and via the internet distributed stencils and downloadable Obey stickers to make Obey known world wide. Obey moved from stencil and stickers to posters and it was a small step to t-shirts and now a full blown men's clothing range under the banner of Obey. Whilst today Obey still produces posters, many limited edition, and signed selling to speculators, the majority of his time is tied up doing commission for various companies. Obey designed the cover for Elephunk the Black Eyed Peas album and in 2006 the release of the Marc Echo computer game features graffiti artwork
