Shepard Fairey and his crew recently went to Copenhagen. This 4 part video series chronicles their time there. What started as a peaceful mission end up in something completely different. While ultimately it all worked out for the best, the excursion demonstrates how hard it is to go into another country, no matter how peaceful your intentions, and express what is seemingly a universal ideal in another political landscape. Art, commerce, punk rock DIY ethos and politics all clash in this miniseries. You may have a better appreciation for the UN after watching the videos. The entire 4 part series is after the jump.

Shepard Fairey and the crew at OBEY recently took to the walls of Asbury Park New Jersey. The murals were created in connection with the Jonathan Levine Gallery exhibit “Revolutions” featuring the album cover art of Shepard Fairey. The OBEY blog notes:

We knocked out some ambitious installations and Shepard threw down a couple of mind blowing DJ sets but most of all it was a real pleasure being introduced to a place that still has its community in the right mind set.  We especially wanted to Thank, Jonathan LeVine, Juicy Jenn, and all the locals that showed up and gave their support.
