OBEY'S SHEPARD FAIREY BOOK SIGNING, BOND, LONDON

A good evening was had by all last week at the Shepard Fairey book signing at Bond, London. We popped along a little bit earlier to catch Shepard Fairey, the man behind the cult urban art brand OBEY, still pasting up a disused retail space just off Carnaby Street.

Back to Bond for a spot of book signing, and a cool book it is too! A big, big book showing a huge amount of Shepard's work over the years..well worth buying once it comes out on full release later this year.

After that the free beer flowed back at the retail/art space round the corner where we could take in the walls covered in OBEY posters and framed artwork...cheers to Simon at OBEY UK....

SHADOW CONSPIRACY VS. INVISIBLE MAN CRUISER BIKE

The Shadow Conspiracy Vs. Invisible Man Cruiser Bike

The Shadow Conspiracy, helmed by Ronnie B, is a BMX parts company which for the past three years has consistently introduced unique BMX hardware designed with creative themes of subversion. The Shadow Conspiracy is distinctly regarded within the BMX industry for their meticulous attention to detail, as shown within their projects and products, such as a patented BMX bike chain, finely constructed saddles, and their novel ad campaigns that constantly push the envelope in guerilla marketing.

In 1999, Andrew Lee launched Invisible:Man, which has since gained a notorious reputation worldwide. I:M is creating controversy within the high-end street market for its usage of raw graphics, dark themes, and innovative cut-n-sew. I:M has also released several collaborations with Stussy, Neighborhood, MadFoot!, and Es Footwear.

The collaborative efforts of both parties in producing this custom engineered 24” Cruiser is not only a technical feat, but pushes the boundaries of high-end street fashion aesthetic and redefines the style of BMX sport.

The finish on the Cruiser is matte black with black gloss decals – artwork by Andrew of Invisible:Man.
