Although most bios of Fairey currently skim over or completely exclude any information about the significant time the artist spent in San Diego, in a very ala’ Manchurian Candidate way, during his formative early-to-mid 1990s years before fame took hold, this is from the Post No Bills page at gingkopress.com:

… Black Market, a San Diego design agency Fairey formed with Dave Kinsey and Philip Dewolff and which focuses on the action sport and music industries.
