Around it is a dense field of torn paper, distressed newspaper fragments, tags, symbols and pasted graphic material.

He used those machines to make inexpensive 11 x 17 red-and-black mini-posters. The “Hello My Name Is” format itself was inspired by the ubiquitous name-tag stickers used by graffiti writers in New York. Fairey has described the original paste-up as a tribute to graffiti culture and one of the last works in which he prominently used the original Giant face before transitioning toward the later OBEY Icon Face and Star. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"6175\" data-content-reference-end=\"6199\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"
