Shepard Fairey has been the unofficial ambassador of Street Art and Urban Art for nearly 30 years. His influence on the art world, art market, and pop culture in general is undeniable. But what does it take to maintain such longevity at the top? How must one shift and maneuver through changes in public opinion, and economic peaks and valleys? Perhaps the answer is to stay the course, be true to yourself and your vision, consistently evolve and produce, and never take your foot off the gas.

Fresh off his massive three-man show in London alongside Damien Hirst and Invader, and only hours before his prestigious exhibition at Berlin’s Fotografiska museum, Shepard Fairey sat down with JB and Tom to talk about legacy, the benefits and pressures of being one of the most famous artists on the planet, and how music has been a major influence on his life and work the whole way through.
