About This Print
Obey With Caution (2006) (First Edition) is a Shepard Fairey screen print, published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 300 at 18 x 24 inches. Released October 31, 2006 at an original price of $30, it is a 2006 reworking of Fairey's 'Obey With Caution' design, combining the OBEY command with cautionary, warning-style graphic language. The print uses bold flat color and the propaganda-inspired iconography central to the OBEY project, framing the OBEY directive within a visual rhetoric of warning and control.
