Behind The Scenes...Shepard Fairey and BLK/MRKT 1998 - 2002

Post by subterranean »

I came across this link the other day and thought it was a very cool sneak peek into what the offices looked like back during Shep's Black Market days, wanted to get it up on here so everybody can check it out! Enjoy...
here's the link to the site : http://theworldsbestever.com/2008/06/10 ... mrkt-days/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
click on the "photostream" and you'll have access to all the pictures! Also..as an added note for those interested in Kate Moss...go to the main page of the site and under "categories" you'll find the link for her, they do a thing there called "Kate Moss Thursdays" :D

Yeah, it's great to get a view into how things started out for Shep, and although I'm sure he has better computer equipment and a more expansive office now, I'm willing to bet he still has stacks of music everywhere, stickers on every surface and art all over the walls. It must have been a really cool vibe working in those offices back then!
