Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP Artist Proof 5-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist For Musicians Bad Brains. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Shepard Fairey's "Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP" is a culturally potent piece within the street pop and graffiti art landscape. As an artist proof of the limited edition series, this 5-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on cream speckle tone paper measures 18x24 inches and was released in 2016. Signed and marked as an artist-proof (AP), it is a collector's piece that delves into the pulsating heart of punk's ethos and reggae's rasta vibrations, manifested through the lens of Fairey's distinct style. This artwork resonates with the energy of Bad Brains, a band that epitomized the hardcore punk scene with its unique blend of punk and reggae, a hybrid that paralleled Fairey's melding of art forms. The print captures the band's spirit with the commanding phrase "Positive Mental Attitude!" a mantra that Bad Brains championed throughout their career. Fairey's work is a visual echo of this ethos, presenting the band members with a backdrop of rasta colors, which not only allude to their music's roots but also serve as a nod to a broader cultural movement. Fairey, known for his influence on street pop art through works like the iconic "OBEY" campaign and the Obama "HOPE" poster, continues his exploration of music's intersection with visual art in this print. The piece is saturated with the motifs of Fairey's "OBEY Propaganda" — the star, the bold lettering, and the stylized imagery. These elements merge, not promote a band, and celebrate an entire cultural movement, reflecting the potency of street pop art in capturing and promoting subcultural movements. The "Bad Brains Punk Showcase Rasta AP" print symbolizes Fairey's engagement with the punk scene and his ability to encapsulate its raw, unfiltered voice within his work. It's a testament to the enduring dialogue between music and visual art, which Fairey has continually fostered through his prints, murals, and street art. This piece doesn't just hang on a wall; it screams with the voice of a movement, echoing from the underground clubs to the sun-soaked streets where street art and graffiti have long found their home.

Not Great Men 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered, Not Great Men Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 450 August 20, 201 The Not Great Men print was inspired by the Gang of Four song of the same name from their album “Entertainment”.. Gang of Four are a great band musically and lyrically with many of their songs tackling subjects like consumption, capitalism, obsession with power, exploitation, narcissism, and class structure. The song Not Great Men has long struck me as a wise indictment of the contradiction or paradox of leadership and power. It takes assertive, charismatic people with self-confidence to be leaders, but on the dark side, leaders are often power hungry, manipulative, and abusive of their power.

Terry Hall Tribute Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 1-Color on Pure White Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 325 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "Terry Hall, singer of the Specials, one of my favorite bands, died of pancreatic cancer a little less than a year ago. This past Saturday, Musack did an amazing tribute to Terry with a bonkers lineup, including Horace Panter and Lynval Golding of the Specials, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s, Fishbone, No Doubt (except Gwen), Tom Morello, Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy, Donita Sparks of L7, and others! I fell in love with the Specials in the summer of 1989, around the time I started listening to Operation Ivy and Fishbone, so to have members of all those bands celebrating Terry was incredible! I was also able to do the poster for the event based on a beautiful photo by Chalkie Davies. There are two versions of the print, one with the event lineup included and another that is a simpler tribute to Terry. The black and white print are editions of 325, but the show lineup print is a smaller quantity (edition of 300) because many were sold at the event, and all proceeds from those benefit Musack, an excellent music charity for kids. On a personal note, Terry came by my studio a couple of times, and we talked for hours. He was kind, thoughtful, and very open about life’s ups and downs. We talked about kids, mental health, insecurity, relationships, the therapeutic benefits of creativity, and many other heavy topics. He was a kindred spirit who I thought I’d be friends with for many years. This print was done with love… thanks for the tunes Terry!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The realm of street art, pop culture, and graffiti has witnessed countless legendary figures whose artistry has both challenged and changed perceptions. One such luminary is Shepard Fairey, the renowned artist behind the OBEY campaign, who has consistently melded activism and artistry in his works. A notable tribute by Fairey is the silkscreen print dedicated to Terry Hall, the iconic lead singer of the Specials. Terry Hall's influence in the world of music was significant, and his tragic passing due to pancreatic cancer was a tremendous loss to the music community. This sentiment was palpable when Musack hosted an astounding tribute to Hall, graced by stalwarts like Horace Panter, Lynval Golding, Jane Wiedlin, Fishbone, members of No Doubt, and numerous other eminent artists. This tribute not only celebrated Hall's legacy but also underscored the bond shared by these artists, many of whom were influenced by the Specials during their formative years. The silkscreen print crafted by Fairey serves as a testament to Hall's enduring impact on him and the broader music fraternity. The artwork, pulled by hand on fine art paper, epitomizes the meticulousness synonymous with Fairey's creations. Limited to an edition of 325, the monochromatic rendition of Hall draws inspiration from a poignant photograph by Chalkie Davies. An alternative version features the event lineup, limited to an edition of 300, with a significant portion having been sold during the event. The proceeds from this version were dedicated to Musack, a laudable charity aimed at empowering kids through music. Fairey's connection with Hall went beyond mere admiration. Their conversations, which delved deep into topics like mental health, creativity, and life's intricacies, highlighted the profound respect and mutual understanding they shared. The artist's tribute to Hall is more than just a print; it's a heartfelt homage to a kindred spirit. Through this artwork, Fairey offers the world a glimpse into their shared moments, while simultaneously emphasizing Terry Hall's undying influence in the realms of music and culture.

Factory Stacks- Earth First 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 350. "These “Factory Stacks” images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard

Parks For Everyone 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 "I created this print in partnership with Parks California, the official non-profit partner of California State Parks that works at the intersection of resource stewardship and equitable access. The print features an illustration of the beautiful Russian River and iconic Russian Gulch Bridge in northern California. I am lucky to have a system of parks in California preserved for public enjoyment and are valued landmarks. I think it is essential to keep some spaces dominated by nature for the sake of the environment and citizens’ quality of life. Parks California helps to make parks more welcoming, inclusive, and climate-resilient. Proceeds from this print will help strengthen parks for the future, reducing barriers to access and working to ensure that all people feel welcome when they are in parks. Thanks for caring!" -Shepard Fairey Parks For Everyone Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey is a piece of artwork created by the renowned street artist and graphic designer, known for his work under the pseudonym OBEY.

Alternative Facts Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of XXX Artwork Size 24x24 " We are at a critical moment for the preservation of democracy and non-partisan access to voting for all citizens of voting age. Between the Supreme Court, partisan gerrymandering shaping state legislatures, and the filibuster as a tool of obstruction in Congress, we are already facing tyranny by the minority. The forces dominating our politics do not reflect the values of most Americans. My print, Alternative Facts, addresses the mass confusion about truth that allows the parties who spread the big lie about the 2020 election (and many other lies) fomented the January 6th insurrection and are engaged in voter suppression and other anti-democracy schemes, to flourish unchecked. A portion of proceeds from Alternative Facts will benefit the ACLU in its legal fights against voter suppression and other attacks on the constitution." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

The High Cost Of Free Speech Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Speckled Cream Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Punk rock ignited a lot of creative and philosophical things for me, and punk principles continuously remind me that speaking truth to power and questioning authority is paramount in life. The Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks are just a few of the groups that referenced injustices such as police brutality and abuse of power in their songs, inspiring me to speak out about the same subjects through my art. I have made a lot of lasting friendships through punk rock and its cultural offshoots. One of those friends is Sean Bonner, who began ordering my prints in the ’90s while he was art director for punk label Victory Records.

Wetland Powers Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "This Wetland Powers print examines the repercussions of a Supreme Court largely in the pockets of big oil. The government is supposed to create the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Still, the conservative justices in the current Supreme Court have put the agendas of big oil and wealthy property owners ahead of safe and clean water for the citizenry. The concept of "common assets"… no one owns resources like air and water and needs to be protected for the benefit of all, seems lost on many people in business and government. It is up to us as voters to elect representatives who put the needs of the citizens first. The Supreme Court makeup is always important to consider when voting for our president since the sitting president selects appointees for Supreme Court justices." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Wetland Powers": A Statement in Street Pop Art In street pop art, Shepard Fairey stands as a figure of monumental influence; his work is often intertwined with solid socio-political messages. The "Wetland Powers" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, also known as OBEY, is a striking example of his commitment to merging art with activism. Released in 2023, this limited edition piece, hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, is more than a visually arresting image; it's a conduit for a critical conversation about environmental justice and governance. Dissecting "Wetland Powers" by Shepard Fairey The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches, is part of a limited edition of 550 signed and numbered prints. In typical Fairey fashion, the piece combines a bold aesthetic with a message that challenges viewers to consider the impact of political decisions on the environment. The imagery features a female figure with elements that suggest a connection to nature and its defense. Fairey's work is known for its layered visual language; every element serves a symbolic purpose, and "Wetland Powers" is no exception. Environmental Advocacy through Art In "Wetland Powers," Fairey addresses the contentious issue of land rights versus environmental protection, particularly highlighting the Supreme Court's role in shaping the fate of U.S. wetlands. The print serves as a commentary on the court's decisions that Fairey perceives as favoring corporate interests over public environmental health. Through this piece, Fairey expresses his belief in safeguarding common assets — air, water, and land — for the collective good. The Cultural Resonance of Fairey's Work Shepard Fairey's art has always resonated with a broad audience, and his Obey campaign has become a cultural phenomenon. With "Wetland Powers," Fairey continues to tap into the collective consciousness, using his art as a platform to advocate for ecological and social responsibility. The work underscores the power of street pop art to transcend the canvas and become a vehicle for change, urging citizens to reflect on their role as voters and to elect leaders who prioritize the welfare of all. "Wetland Powers" is a testament to Shepard Fairey's enduring role as an artist at the forefront of street pop and graffiti artwork. His ability to address pressing global issues through compelling imagery cements his status as an artist dedicated to the intersection of art and advocacy. As a limited edition print, "Wetland Powers" represents Fairey's artistic prowess and embodies the spirit of street art as a form of engaged public discourse.

Drum Breaks AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Pop art, street art, and graffiti have always been mediums that offer a raw and unfiltered reflection of society, culture, and the artist's personal feelings. Among the luminaries in this realm, Shepard Fairey stands tall, his unique creations resonating with both art aficionados and the masses alike. The "Drum Breaks AP Dance Floor Riot" silkscreen print is a testament to his profound admiration for music and its intertwined relationship with visual arts. Crafted meticulously in 2011, this artist proof, hand-pulled, 1-color screen print on fine art paper, is not just an artwork but a fragment of Fairey’s soul, reverberating his passion for music. Shepard Fairey's initiation into the art world was not through the conventional means of art galleries but through album covers that acted as the visual symphony to the music he revered. Just as album art inspired emotions, memories, and an innate connection to the music, Fairey's street art endeavored to forge a similar connection with its audience. The silkscreen in question, sized at 13x13, embodies Fairey's attempt to harness the immense power and universal reach of music. His statement captures this sentiment eloquently, emphasizing how, despite art's intrinsic value, music has a superior prowess in touching human souls. His use of the term "REVOLUTIONS" is twofold, alluding to both the revolutions of a vinyl record and the socio-cultural revolutions music often incites. A deep dive into "Drum Breaks AP Dance Floor Riot" offers viewers a chance to journey through Fairey’s inspirations. The fusion of punk's rebellious nature, the invigorating energy of music, and the democratizing force of street art crystallizes in this piece. For those who see art not just as an aesthetic expression but as a pulsating representation of society and individual emotion, this silkscreen print is both a tribute and an inspiration. Through such creations, Shepard Fairey champions the ethos that one needn't play an instrument to rock the world – sometimes, a canvas and a vision are all it takes.

Carga Fragile Mural 18-Color Lithograph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Print on 270gsm BFK Rives Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 40x28 Fine Art Large Format Lithograph "Carga Frágil" Mural in São Paulo, Brazil. This 18-color lithograph, measuring 40 by 28 inches, is printed on BFK Rives 270g paper featuring deckled edges. Created at the historic Idem Studio in Paris using a Marinoni press, it is based on an original illustration inspired by a photograph captured by Jon Furlong. The piece is signed by the artist, Shepard Fairey, and is a numbered edition limited to 300 prints. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Greenpeace USA. Each print is accompanied by a digital certificate of authenticity provided by Versiart and features the Idem publishing chop in the lower left corner. The Idem Studio was established within a 15,000-square-foot, two-story workshop at 49 rue de Montparnasse. Originally built in 1881 by printer Eugene Dufrenoy, the workshop was designed to house his lithographic presses. In its early days, the facility relied on 19th-century flat machines powered by belt-driven propeller shafts and a steam boiler. The space was later occupied by the Michard Printing Company, which specialized in crafting vibrant, special edition maps. In 1976, Fernand Mourlot acquired the workshop and transformed it into a fine art printshop. Throughout its history, the workshop has seen a revival of lithography, with craftsmen collaborating closely with esteemed artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall. Today, the printshop is dedicated to contemporary artists like Sophie Calle, JR, William Kentridge, David Lynch, Paul McCarthy, and Raymond Pettibon. Lithographs at Idem Studio are created by drawing an image on a flat stone or transferring it onto aluminum plates. The image is then treated with water and an oil-based ink that is rolled across the surface. Paper is placed atop the matrix and run through a press, transferring the ink onto the paper to form the final lithograph. The process results in a rich, dense layer of ink, producing an exceptional final piece. Now known as Idem, the Mourlot company stands as one of the oldest printing houses still utilizing traditional lithography techniques.

Swan Song Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Size 36x24 Silkscreen Print The Swan Song print is a depiction of the precarious state of nature's delicate balance, with numerous species declining, eco-systems teetering on the brink of collapse, and climate scientists warning that time is running out to avert environmental consequences that could render zones inhabitable for millions. While certain groups may suffer more than others, this issue is universal as we all have an impact on both the problems and solutions. Unfortunately, the conscientious habits of individuals alone are insufficient to solve the problem. Unless corporations are pressured and regulated, they will continue to prioritize profits over the planet's health. The piece contains a news clipping revealing that Exxon-Mobile has known for over 40 years, based on their own internal scientific research, that burning fossil fuels is causing global warming, yet they concealed this information and publicly denied the impact of fossil fuels on climate change. A portion of the print's proceeds will be donated to Greenpeace USA to support their efforts to combat climate change. The Speckletone paper used in the print is made from recycled materials. Thank you for your concern.

Tomorrow's Another Night Blue PP Printers Proof 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Paper by Modern Artist Niagara x Shepard Fairey x Niagara. PP Printer Proof 2019 Signed & Numbered Blue Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Niagara and Shepard Fairey's 'Tomorrow's Another Night': A Striking Silkscreen Collaboration 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' a captivating blue PP Printer's Proof silkscreen print, stands as a testament to the collaborative genius of Niagara and Shepard Fairey. This limited edition piece, hand-pulled on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum paper, encapsulates the essence of modern street pop art and graffiti with its bold imagery and nuanced undertones. Each print, part of a limited edition run of 150, is signed and numbered, underscoring its exclusivity and the meticulous craftsmanship invested into every screen. Released on July 2, 2021, the artwork measures 18 x 24 inches, allowing intricate details and striking color contrasts to command attention. The print portrays two figures, Ron and Niagara, in a complex interplay of visual tension and harmony. Shepard Fairey's description of the piece reveals a deliberate balance between the overt aggression shown by Ron's direct eye contact and raised fist and Niagara's ostensibly gentle embrace. Yet, as Fairey notes, the true power lies with Niagara, whose understated demeanor masks a controlling presence, symbolized by the switchblade subtly caressed by her finger. This addition by Fairey amplifies the femme fatale motif and ties in with his original concept for the print, suggesting a narrative of concealed strength and influence. Exploring the Visual and Conceptual Depth of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' In creating 'Tomorrow's Another Night,' Fairey and Niagara delve into the dynamics of power, control, and the role of iconography in art. The piece's title and the imagery together weave a tale of anticipation and the recurring cycles of life's drama. The use of a limited color palette accentuates the graphic strength of the work. At the same time, the choice of a high-quality silkscreen process ensures that each color pops against the paper, offering a texture and depth that resonate with the layered meanings of the artwork. The collaboration between the two artists brings together distinct styles and perspectives, marrying the raw edge of street art with the finesse of fine art printmaking. Fairey's background in street pop art and activism and Niagara's punk rock aesthetic combine to create a print that is both a visual feast and a piece of social commentary. The contrast between Ron's defiant gesture and Niagara's subtle dominance challenges traditional gender narratives and invites viewers to look beyond appearances to the complex stories beneath. Cultural Significance and Artistic Legacy of the Print 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is more than just a piece of art; it is a cultural artifact that captures a moment in the evolution of street art and its intersection with pop culture. The collaboration between Niagara and Shepard Fairey represents a bridging of generational talents, fusing the spirit of punk rock with contemporary street art to create something nostalgic and fresh. The Printer's Proof status of the print adds to its cultural weight, as these proofs are typically reserved for the artist's and printer's archives, representing the gold standard of the print edition. Collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork value PP editions for their closeness to the artist's original intent and the fine quality of the print. In essence, 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a shining example of the vibrant and transformative power of collaboration in street pop art and graffiti. It reflects the ongoing narrative of rebellion and the subversion of societal norms that street art embodies. Through this print, Fairey and Niagara offer a thought-provoking and visually impactful piece, solidifying their roles as influential figures in contemporary art.

Peoples Climate March- To Change Everything We Need Everyone Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. People’s Climate March – To Change Everything We Need Everyone Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300 September 18, 2014. 'Most of you know that I am very concerned about the dangers of climate change. Dick Cheney said “if there is even a 1% chance of a terrorist attack, we must do everything in our power to be prepared”. 95% or more of the scientific community agrees that climate change is happening, and is a dramatic threat to the planet, yet far less is being done to fight climate change than to fight terrorism. It’s a good thing the streets of New York will be flooded soon — with hundreds of thousands of people demanding solutions to our out-of-control climate crisis. It’s both an honor and a calling of my conscience for me to contribute a poster to the People’s Climate March effort and get something urgent across about one of the biggest threats facing present and future generations. Lady Liberty and all of us are in trouble if we don’t push our leaders to take bold action.' -Shepard Fairey

Sedation of Millions AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Number 3 in A Gun Target Retnial With Phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." "The "Sedation Of Millions" print is inspired by the title of my favorite Public Enemy album, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back." I think the biggest problem in America is the indifference and complacency about important issues that result from much of the population being perpetually hypnotized by conspicuous consumption, social media, entertainment, and self-medication. Using sedation and escapism for relief from the rat race might make us less aware(blissfully ignorant) but also less empowered to improve our role within the rat race… a vicious cycle of cause and effect." -Shepard Fairey The "Millions AP" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey stands as a profound commentary on contemporary society through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As an Artist Proof from 2012, signed and marked by Fairey himself, this limited edition piece presents a powerful visual fused with a direct message characteristic of Fairey's thought-provoking style. Sized at 18x24, the print features the image of a gun target retinal, the number 3 prominently placed at its center, overlaid with the bold phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." This artwork resonates with Fairey's ongoing exploration of control, power, and propaganda. The title and the thematic content pay homage to Public Enemy's album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back," channeling the spirit of resistance and the power of voice emblematic of the influential hip-hop group. Fairey's work challenges the viewer to consider the societal implications of complacency and the sedative effects of consumer culture, social media, and entertainment that contribute to a collective indifference toward critical issues. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, consistently blurs the lines between fine art and street art, bringing forth discussions that encapsulate the ethos of both genres. The "Millions AP" silkscreen print serves not just as a piece of art but as a call to consciousness, urging a break from the "blissful ignorance" induced by escapism and advocating for empowerment through awareness and action. This work is a visual manifestation of Fairey's critique on the cyclical nature of societal sedation and the importance of awakening from it to enact change within the systems that govern daily life. In the broader scope of street pop art and graffiti, Fairey's "Millions AP" print encapsulates the essence of the medium's capacity to reflect and impact cultural dialogue. It is a testament to the potential of visual art as a medium for social commentary and a marker of the time in which it was created.

Obey Conformity Trance- Red 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 350 February 10, 2021 Obey as a pseudo-command in my art has always been a form of reverse psychology. My philosophy is actually “question everything”. Conformity is often more unconscious than conscious… an adaptation to structures we may not agree with and a submission to unseen forces of manipulation… unseen because our eyes and minds are not open wide enough. People come up with conspiracy theories like “the Illuminati” to explain the feelings that they are cogs in someone else’s machine, but the deconstruction of power and control requires nothing more than a conscious and diligent examination of how power and influence upon the government accumulate and concentrate under capitalism.

I’m always looking for excuses to collaborate with Chuck and celebrate his influence on me and culture in general, so I was very happy to work with him and Janette Beckman, whose hip-hop and punk photography I’ve loved for years. With the 30 year anniversary of Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back” coming up on June 28, I decided one of Janette’s photos of Chuck from that time would be great for me to illustrate as a tribute to my favorite MC and my favorite hip-hop album of all time. If you don’t own Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back,” learn what music at the pinnacle of it’s sonic, political, and revolutionary potential can be. Proceeds from this print will go to Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE). All prints signed by Shepard, Janette Beckman and Chuck D.

Fairey, known for his "OBEY" campaign and his significant role in pop culture and street art, often infuses his work with social and political commentary, echoing the ethos of Chuck D's artistry. His choice of Beckman's photograph for the illustration is deliberate, acknowledging her impact on hip-hop culture through her visual documentation. The collaboration between Fairey, Beckman, and Chuck D in creating this silkscreen print embodies a fusion of talents that pays homage to the past while making a statement in the present. The artwork features a black and white depiction of Chuck D, with a backdrop of words and images that echo the messages conveyed through his music—resistance, empowerment, and the fight against injustice. The print, sized 24x36 inches, was hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, further enhancing its tactile quality and exclusivity with a limited run of 300 signed and numbered editions. Fairey's decision to direct the proceeds from this print to the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) aligns with the social advocacy inherent in Chuck D's music. This move not only celebrates hip-hop's cultural significance but also its potential for driving social change. The convergence of music, art, and activism in this silkscreen print underscores hip-hop's position as a vehicle for social commentary, with artists like Chuck D leading the charge and figures like Shepard Fairey amplifying the message through visual mediums. This piece is not just a collectible but serves as a narrative, an intersection where art meets the profound voices of a movement, continuing to inspire and provoke thought in a manner that is emblematic of both pop art and street art sensibilities.

A contemporary masterpiece, this large-format print, sized at an impressive 30x41, is a testament to Fairey's impeccable craftsmanship and profound insight into social issues. A product of the year 2022, the AR-15 Lily, alongside its counterpart, the AK-47 Lotus, reflects Fairey's inspiration from the iconic Vietnam War protesters. These brave souls, in a symbolic gesture of peace, would insert flowers into the gun barrels of the National Guard, who were present to curtail their passionate calls for peace. Shepard Fairey, a renowned graffiti street artist, is known for intertwining pop culture, street art, and pressing social issues in his works, and this piece is no exception. His choice of a 4-color serigraph technique for this limited edition of 100 pieces exudes exclusivity and class. The print, meticulously crafted on Custom Cotton Coventry Rag Paper, evokes feelings of nostalgia and the age-old conflict between violence and peace. Fairey’s perspective, as he expresses, is deeply pacifistic. His work is not just an artistic expression but a call for diplomacy and harmony, both on international terrains and domestic fronts. While he does not challenge the Second Amendment, his emphasis is on reducing unnecessary deaths due to gun violence. In a world where the lines between art and activism often blur, Fairey's commitment to supporting causes shines through. A portion of the proceeds from this artwork, for instance, aids Brady United, an organization dedicated to preventing gun violence. The AR-15 Lily is not just a piece of art; it's a bold statement, a call for reflection, and a testament to Fairey’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace. "The AK-47 Lotus and AR-15 Lily large format serigraphs are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace. I’m a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home. I’m not anti- Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I’m not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints. Thanks for caring.⁠" -Shepard Fairey

The 18x24 artwork, hand-pulled on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, is not only a visual treat but a beacon of inspiration, embodying the themes of creativity, equity, and justice. At the heart of this print is a portrait of Anjel Newmann, a figure who represents the enduring impact of AS220, a non-profit community arts organization in Providence, Rhode Island. Newmann's involvement with AS220 began at the tender age of 13, and her journey to becoming the Director of Programs and Youth Director showcases the nurturing power of such institutions in cultivating artistic talent and leadership among the youth. Fairey, having collaborated with AS220 since the 1990s, celebrates not only the individual journey of Newmann but also the broader ethos of the organization. AS220’s pivotal role in fostering an inclusive arts community and providing a platform for marginalized voices is central to Fairey's narrative.

This print transcends its aesthetic appeal, standing as a symbol of hope and a call to action, urging viewers to rise above challenges and contribute to the collective journey towards a just society.

Rollins Capitalism- Signed by Henry Rollins 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed by Henery Rollins, Signed & Numbered Screen Print ROLLINS CAPITALISM Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 1200 August 28, 2012 Henry Rollins has been a hero of mine since I got into Black Flag in 1984. Henry is a role model in his amazing taste and output in music, his political engagement, his monumental work ethic, and his social consciousness. Henry tours a ton and stays very aware of the world. Back before the 2008 recession started, Henry had an editorial segment on his TV show where he said “the president says the fundamentals of the economy are strong…I say start learning Chinese”. Henry’s new tour is called CAPITALISM and I’m sure he will have a lot of wise, funny, and maybe prophetic things to say. I was given the honor by Henry of illustrating his concept for the tour, him as a beaten-down Uncle Sam. I have a few of the prints available on my site signed by both me and Henry. The rest will be available on Henry’s tour which everyone should see. Pick a print up before the American brand of capitalism crumbles under the weight of its own ego. -Shepard Fairey

Styles Change Style Endures- Magenta 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 14.5 inches by 19 inches Edition of 115 June 18, 2020 Skateboarding saved my life! As both an activity and culture, skateboarding blew the doors open for me to see how creativity, fearlessness, independence, and style could let me paint my own story. To paraphrase Charles Bukowski, everything, worth saying or doing, dull or dangerous, is better with style. I learned the importance of style from skateboarding but I apply style to my art and pretty much anything else I can. My friend Blaize Blouin, the only pro skater from Charleston, S.C., where I grew up, used to say “trendy tricks come and go, but the need for style is constant”. When I picked up Hugh Holland’s Silver Skate 70’s book I was enthralled by all of the photos, but especially gripped by the shot of an unknown kid doing a stylish backside carve at the Kenter Canyon School banks in 1976. -Shepard Fairey

Green Power Factory Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 18x24 "Green Power is a concept I’ve promoted in several pieces of my art. We need to transition to renewable sources of energy for the health of the planet. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that promote green power and put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey is an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, and founder of OBEY Clothing. He is known for his thought-provoking and socially-conscious artwork, often combining powerful imagery with provocative messages. The "Green Power Factory Red Silkscreen Print" was created by Shepard Fairey and features his signature style and color scheme. It most likely represents themes of environmentalism, industry, and the need for sustainable energy solutions. The use of the OBEY logo in the title suggests that it may also convey an underlying message about recognizing and acting on these themes. As a silkscreen print, this artwork is created using a stencil-based printing technique where ink is forced through a mesh screen onto a surface. This method allows for producing multiple prints with a high level of detail and vivid colors. In the case of Fairey's work, the technique is particularly well-suited to his bold, graphic style.

Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Democrat Propaganda Print of United States President Ronald Regan Holding Sign That Reads "Legislative Influence For Sale" like one side is innocent. "Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof" stands as a testament to the profound intersection of politics, pop art, and street aesthetics, epitomizing the essence of the genre through the lens of Shepard Fairey, a defining figure in the contemporary street art scene. Created in 2011, this 2-color, hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print on fine art paper captures not just the vibrancy and rawness of Fairey's visual language, but also a poignant commentary on the nature of political power and influence in the United States. Marked by its emblematic use of stark contrasts, the print features a depiction of the 40th United States President, Ronald Reagan, clutching a sign with the audacious declaration "Legislative Influence For Sale". Such a visual rhetoric draws attention to the controversial claims about money's role in shaping political outcomes, highlighting the nuances of the relationship between governance and monetary interests. At the same time, by juxtaposing Reagan – who often stands as a symbol of conservative ideals – with a sign suggesting political malfeasance, Fairey challenges the viewer to question and confront their preconceived notions about innocence and guilt in the political arena. In context, Shepard Fairey's artwork – often released under the OBEY moniker – has continually been at the vanguard of pushing the boundaries of street art, evolving it from mere visual spectacle to a medium that communicates pressing societal messages. This piece is no exception. Merging the populist overtones of street art with the iconographic representation reminiscent of pop art, Fairey's "Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof" is more than just an artwork. It's an embodiment of a time, a statement, and a call to awareness in a world where art and activism seamlessly intersect.

Tomorrow's Another Night Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Paper by Modern Artist Niagara x Shepard Fairey x Niagara. 2021 Signed & Numbered Red Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Shepard Fairey's Collaboration with Niagara: 'Tomorrow's Another Night' 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a testament to the dynamic collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara, two pivotal figures in modern street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition silkscreen print, hand-pulled on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum paper, showcases Fairey's masterful screen printing technique alongside Niagara's provocative artistic vision. Released on July 2, 2021, each print in the series is meticulously signed and numbered, indicating the exclusive nature of this artwork. The 18 x 24 inches dimensions make it ideal for collectors who appreciate the nuanced intersection of pop culture and fine art. The artwork features iconic imagery that reflects the rebellious spirit of the punk rock movement, imbued with a sense of in-your-face aggression and subtle manipulation. Ron's direct gaze and clenched fist are juxtaposed with Niagara's calculated and serene posture, a duality that Fairey emphasizes with the strategic placement of a switchblade. This element augments Niagara's allure nod to Fairey's original concept of the duo as a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, suggesting a narrative of power and seduction that belies their outward appearance. Exploring the Visual Narrative and Artistic Merit of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' Shepard Fairey's decision to work with Niagara on 'Tomorrow's Another Night births a rich visual narrative of contrast and complexity. The stark black-and-white imagery is accented by the thoughtful use of three colors, which adds depth and draws the viewer into the story unfolding within the print. The art piece resonates with the energy of the street, where graffiti art traditionally challenges societal norms and provokes thought through visual storytelling. The screen print is a visual exploration of the dichotomy between appearance and reality, power dynamics, and the role of women as unseen orchestrators in a male-dominated society. Fairey's description of Niagara as someone who appears demure yet is 'pulling the strings' is a powerful commentary on the multifaceted nature of female strength and agency. Thus, the artwork becomes a platform for aesthetic appreciation and engagement with broader themes of gender and control. The Cultural Impact of Fairey and Niagara's Artistic Fusion 'Tomorrow's Another Night' represents a cultural milestone in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara bridges generations and artistic styles, creating a piece that is both a tribute to the past and a relevant commentary on contemporary issues. The limited edition nature of the print adds to its cultural significance, offering a snapshot of a moment when two artists from different backgrounds and with distinct voices came together to create something unique and impactful. Moreover, the piece contributes to the ongoing discourse about the place of street art within the broader context of art history. By bringing street art aesthetics into fine art through silkscreen printing, Fairey and Niagara challenge traditional boundaries and invite a reevaluation of what constitutes art in the modern era. 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is an artwork to be enjoyed for its visual appeal and a conversation starter that encourages viewers to delve deeper into the stories behind the images. In essence, 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a vibrant embodiment of the collaborative spirit that defines street pop art. Through this print, Shepard Fairey and Niagara offer a piece steeped in the ethos of street culture while maintaining a polished finesse that appeals to the fine art collector. The artwork is a testament to the power of artistic collaboration and the enduring allure of street-inspired art.
