ICONS: Shepard Fairey
Episode #6007
"Keep your eyes and mind open, and question everything" is the motto that artist, activist and pop culture pioneer Shepard Fairey lives by. While he was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, 19year old Fairey began plastering images of wrestler Andre the Giant on any surface he could find.

G4 TV takes a look at the life of a true original on Icons: Shepard Fairey.
