For those unable to make it, we’re giving away this stencil (above) to one lucky commenter. To win, just read this interview from 1998 and tell us your favorite part. More info on the event after the jump
To commemorate the launch of the new Obey x Levi’s® collection of street inspired styles for men, Fairey will unveil a special public art installation in front of the Levi’s® Times Square store in one of the world’s busiest intersections. This special event will offer the public a rare inside view of the acclaimed street artist’s unique process. In honor of the Obey x Levi’s® collaboration, Fairey also created a series of four new poster designs and will be signing museum-quality poster reproductions of this new series at the Levi’s® Store directly after the live installation.

“Do you have any proof that Andre actually got some from a women?”
“He has an illegitimate daughter who lives in Seattle. The mother and the daughter came to a screening of the Andre documentary called “Andre The Giant Has a Posse” demanding money.”
“What did this lady and her daughter look like?”
“I didn’t see her. I heard that they were not too attractive.”

i really appreciated the irrelevant, non-art-related portions (have to keep it interesting, right?), and i fully agree with his stance on amputees.

INTERVIEWER:
“How many midgets would it take to kick Andre’s ass?”

“If it was Tattoo with a gun, just one.”
BRILLIANT.

“He also drank way too much. I hear stories from people that say he was in bars putting five pitchers away like you would put away five mugs of beer.”
