The OBEY campaign, once a means of getting up while perpetuating a philosophy on the landscape and within minds, has taken little more than a decade to crisscross continents worldwide and adhere onto every surface imaginable.

Artofficial Surfboards in collaboration with Shepard Fairey, continues the OBEY experiment of Phenomenology by wading into a climate that stickers, posters, and stencils must, by necessity, avoid - the ocean.
