Framed Big Brother Is Watching Online

Obey (aka Shepard Fairey) is a contemporary American street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator, and founder of OBEY Clothing, an iconic label in the skateboarding scene. 

Since 1998, references to 1984, George Orwell s cautionary tale about a totalitarian state, have appeared in Fairey s work including several iterations of Big Brother. In 2008, Penguin Books (UK) approached Fairey to design the cover of Orwell s classic books Animal Farm and 1984.

Fairey uses one of the most memorable phrases from the book, Big Brother is Watching You, combined with the image of a menacing eye, to remind us that the technology society has grown to depend on is being used to monitor, register and influence our activity
