Yeah I have been a fan as well for a good while now, I bought one of his posters which is signed and numbered. Basically i love his style which is greatly influenced by communist propaganda and the kind of posters they silk screened in countries like Russia.

Fun story: months ago I really was feeling his whole idea of unsolicited poster display in public places and went ahead and made my own anti - Bush poster which turned out pretty cool. I went down to a very well known outdoor shopping center here in downtown SLC, and stuck it on display on a wall there. The next day I went back and noticed it was still there, and saw some people pointing at it and making comments. I'm sure it was taken down but still it was well worth the risk.

Those are very interesting, I like the style.

What does the "OBEY" mean?

Nice! I have a couple signed prints too.

Ive followed a lot of Banksy's work too, I loved the stuff he did on the wall in occupied Palestine.
