    Obey X Marks!

    Many of you guys my have heard of the "Obey Giant" or the "Andre the Giant has a Posse" movement. Many of you may not have heard about it. Well anyway a guy named Shepard Fairey (who coincidentally is from Charleston SC) had a wild thought one day and made up a bunch of stickers that said "Andre the Giant has a Posse." Long story short he was expirimenting in viral marketing and propoganda. He started making these paper stickers and posting them everywhere and passing them out. They were and still are everywhere. Now you can download them off of his website and print them yourself.

    Well on to the point.

    For MS Word Users:

    For Non-MS Users:

    There are some stickers that you can print onto sticker paper which you should be able to find in any Wal-Mart (or Hell-Mart for Rufus). Just cut them out and start sticking them up.

    Shepard Fairey's Rules and X Mark Edicate:
    Please use common sense and consideration when applying stickers or other propaganda materials.


    Thanks!
    Beannacht Dé,

    Ham,

    You need Microsoft Word for it to download to, anf it takes a while to download. Also if you have a firewall installed, it may block it from downloading.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Hank.
    I don't use MS, so I can't see the pics, either.

    Sticky question

    I have full-sheet labels (Avery 5165), and the logo looks great from my laser printer, but they're just paper...

    Is there a way to make a more durable label/sticker on a laser or inkjet printer?
    I know you can get printable plastic for maps. Anything adhesive?

    BTW, free 'real men wear kilts' stickers at

    (pay shipping)
