If alum Scott Mednick (GD 78) is RISD’s Thor, then Seth MacFarlane (FAV 95) is RISD’s Superman and Shepard Fairey (IL 92) is RISD’s Batman. Seth is the whimsically brilliant creator of the popular TV series Family Guy which has many subtle RISD tie-ins; Shepard is the creator of the eponymous Obey Giant brand that placed propaganda art on the contemporary map.
