About the Author
Fairey Shephard: - Shepard Fairey is a street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator and founder of OBEY Clothing. Widely considered as one of the most influential contemporary street artists, he first became known for his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (...OBEY...) sticker campaign and more recently for his Barack Obama "Hope" poster. Fairey's work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Fairey is once again working with Drago after the catalogue for his 2014 Naples #OBEY show and his contribution for the 2017 Cross the Streets exhibition in Rome.Oriol Estevan: - Estevan Oriol is an internationally celebrated photographer, director and urban lifestyle entrepreneur. With an influential nudge and old camera from his father, renowned photographer Eriberto Oriol, Estevan began documenting life on the road and established a name for himself amid the emerging hip-hop scene. His work has been showcased in institutions such as Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives, Mesa Contemporary Art Center and The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles' Art in the Streets exhibit--concluding with best-selling books of his work: LA Woman and LA Portraits capturing the dangerous and alluring beauty of LA shot in his uniquely provocative and raw style, both of which are published by Drago.Retna: - The street and studio artist Retna picked his moniker from the lyrics of a Wu Tang song that resonated with him in his youth. He has become known for his long and geometric script, which he developed while looking towards Egyptian and Native American traditional symbols, creating an universal language. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Retna has extensively contributed to the murals of his hometown.
