as a girl who has frequently been called "bro" or "man" or "dude" or whatever (on this forum, not in real life), i say don't worry about it.
alright anyone that saw "cupcake maker" and called you "bro"... well, i don't actually have a punchline here.
by the time i crowned myself official cupcake maker, i think most people around here were aware of my gender. it used to happen a lot more frequently.
Though the fact that you are such a huge obey fan AND help with this forum AND make cupcakes makes you one of the coolest chicks on the planet.

I was thinking more ancient Greece and Rome, but I guess there is probably just as much stigma attached to either preoccupation. Unfortunately it all fits me a little too well... :oops: :lol: That's why I try so hard to be into Shepard Fairey to counter balance with at least a little bit of cool.

I don't think it is working. I'm probably just a bit too close to the fan boy side of the continuum for it to help.

Does anybody know if the series will be a collab between Shep and Michael (Tighe)? I really like some of Tighe's photos and do think these will transfer into prints well in Shep's style. Looking forward to this series.

This one has been tough, I've been debating for days --I like the look, but I spend the last 7 1/2 years living one block from the corporate headquarters of the Target Corp in downtown Minneapolis, as well as their experimental store a 1/2 block down. I'm very familiar with Jasper Johns, and I've been lucky enough to look at the great collection of his works they have at LACMA, but I just can't get past the reminder of one of MN's homespun corporate behemoths.

I can't get away from the "Obey Target Employee" feeling. I buy prints that I would put up in my house, and this one would definitely get the "I didn't know the Obey guy sold out and did a Target print" response way too often --especially over here. A durn shame. So I reluctantly pass. I look forward to future images in this series.

Besides, I need to save money to finally put up the Ataturk variations.
