“Legendary OBEY Giant by Shepard Fairey Featured on Premium Playing Card Decks”
Artist-inspired merchandise presents us with fresh avenues to appreciate the creations of painters, illustrators, and more. In the realm of OBEY, the initiative by renowned artist Shepard Fairey, we can now engage with his art simply by shuffling a set of playing cards. My Modern Met Store offers two new sets of playing cards showcasing Fairey’s work. Collaboratively designed with theory11, OBEY RED and OBEY COLLAGE serve as an excellent way to enhance your deck with fun and remarkable art.
Both OBEY card decks exude luxury—not just in their visuals, but also in their manufacturing quality. They incorporate several layers of foil stamping and intricate embossing, making them an ideal backdrop for highlighting Fairey’s artistry. His designs have been transformed into kings, queens, and even a joker. Across the deck, the cards present a variety of artistic styles he has refined over the last thirty years, ranging from stencil-inspired techniques to collage.
Fairey established himself as a street artist; his OBEY Giant, inspired by wrestler Andre the Giant, initially drew public interest. He has since surpassed the street artist label by producing artwork that reflects on themes of authority, control, and propaganda. If you haven’t come across his work yet, you’ve likely seen his iconic piece: Barack Obama’s “Hope” poster, which became emblematic of the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
The OBEY RED and OBEY COLLAGE decks are currently available for purchase online at My Modern Met Store. While visiting, make sure to explore more artistic playing card sets from theory11.
