Shepard Fairey visits our studio again for a Brave New Conversation with his personal inspiration, guerrilla poster artist Robbie Conal.
If you’re an Angeleno, then you’ve probably encountered Robbie Conal’s posters, which he and his volunteer guerrilla army have put up here and across the country since 1986.
His work artfully skewers politicians, global capitalists, bureaucrats, televangelists and so-called “life-style” pundits — and he’ll be in our studios to tell us all about it.
You can check out his work at Robbie Conal’s Art Attack.

In this episode, the street artist and creator of the iconic Obama HOPE poster that inspired a nation chats with Brave New Foundation producer Christopher Sprinkle about his art.
From his beginning with “Andre’s Posse” through to his punk-rock inspired “positive propaganda,” his commercial work and beyond, Shepard shares his artistic journey with us in this engaging chat.
