And they all – when I talk about when I changed the mayor's billboard around, how I almost got kicked out and how I was banned from the printmaking building, they go, oh, yeah, none of us were involved in that.

We don't do things like that anymore.

But –

He was way dead, right?

Yeah, Andre died in 93, but I did... So I used to put the image from the original Andre sticker up just as like a head isolated on... If I saw a blank billboard, I would... All over LA, I was doing that.

Well, I happened to put one up on a blank billboard in Beverly Hills, directly across from CMG Worldwide, which was...

the holders of Andre's estate.

And they, this was around 2002 and they, 2001, 2002, and they tracked me down and they said, hey, you know, this is a trademarked image and Andre's name is trademarked.

And I wasn't using Andre's name in anything except the original sticker at that point.

Obey the Giant.

Yeah, but they, because I just either said Giant or Obey.

And

All the, what I call the icon face, the really simplified one and the star, they knew that was abstracted enough, but they said, you have to sign this waiver saying you are not going to use the original Andre face in anything commercial.

So I haven't, but I still make the stickers and I give the OG stickers away.

So I don't- Did you bring any?

That's it.

Yeah.

That is so fucking cool.

And then, you know, that's the simplified, the icon.

Yeah.
