Obey Clothing was founded by Shepard Fairey, most notably known for his Obama Hope poster in 2008.
Shepard often cites They Live as inspiration for his art, with his Andre the Giant Has A Posse campaign starting in 1989.
As an aside - one of my favorite works of his is Greetings From Iraq[0], from 2005. It satirizes a classic Yellowstone National Park postcard from the 1930s[1], in a criticism of the Iraq War.

- riffraff 5y agoI know that Shepard Fairey is familiar with They Live, my (abstract) question is how many people familiar with him know of the movie.
