Resist Colonialism 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Ernesto Yerena Montejano (Hecho Con Ganas) Famous Mexican American Pop Artwork Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Size 18x24 "Resist Colonialism" is a commanding visual statement by Ernesto Yerena Montejano, a name synonymous with vibrant expressions of cultural identity and political activism within the contemporary art scene. This 2-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print, produced under his studio label Hecho Con Ganas, captures the essence of resistance against colonial powers and their historical narratives. Created in 2019, it is a testament to Yerena Montejano's dedication to fusing art with social commentary. The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches, is a limited edition with only 100 signed and numbered pieces, adding an exclusive aspect to its acquisition. The artist's Mexican-American heritage profoundly influences the imagery and themes present in his works, and "Resist Colonialism" is no exception. The stark contrast of the red and black ink, a hallmark of silkscreen printing, resonates with the simplicity yet power of revolutionary posters, echoing the visual language of protest and propaganda throughout history. Yerena Montejano's choice of symbols, juxtaposing a pirate ship bearing both the emblems of hazardous material and the iconic skull and crossbones, underscores the danger and death associated with colonial conquests. The backdrop, an unyielding red circle, could be interpreted as a reference to the rising sun, symbolizing a new dawn of awareness and opposition to colonialism. The inclusion of the raised fist, a universal sign of solidarity and resistance, further amplifies the print’s message, urging onlookers to acknowledge past transgressions and take a stand against the lingering effects of colonialism. This piece of art resonates within the pop art, street art, and graffiti art movements due to its accessible yet poignant visual language. It uses the aesthetics everyday in these art forms to engage the public discourse on decolonization and indigenous rights. As with many of his works, Yerena Montejano's "Resist Colonialism" print is not just a piece of art to be admired for its aesthetic merits but also serves as a mobilizing agent that encourages viewers to reflect on complex socio-political issues. His ability to distill fervent political messaging into compelling graphic art has cemented his status as a crucial voice in the conversation about identity, culture, and activism within the art world.

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.

'Blue Mask' showcases Mysterious Al's exploration of cultural iconography, mysticism, and the human condition through a street pop art lens. The dynamic interplay of bold colors and abstract forms creates an arresting visual that is both primitive and avant-garde. His use of black to contour and segment the colors enhances the mask's enigmatic presence, inviting viewers to a deeper exploration of its meaning and the artist's intention. Mysterious Al's Technique and Artistic Process Creating an HPM, such as 'Blue Mask,' involves craftsmanship and creative input that sets these works apart from standard prints.

The PP designation adds another layer of exclusivity, traditionally denoting prints of superior quality retained for reference or the artist's personal use. Mysterious Al's signature on each print is a seal of authenticity and a bridge connecting the artist and collector. The 'Blue Mask' PP HPM archival print is a testament to Mysterious Al's commitment to pushing the boundaries of street pop art.

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.

Alice Bag 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Melanie Nissen Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Melanie Nissen, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 550. "I was very excited to meet and collaborate with Melanie Nissen because, as co-founder of Slash magazine, she photographed some of the most important figures and moments in the early LA punk scene—a scene that dramatically impacted me as a creative person. Nissen’s new book of her punk photos from 1977-1980, Hard+Fast, is beautifully designed and full of amazing images. After some serious deliberation, I decided I’d like to make an illustration of Alice Bag. I first encountered Alice Bag as a teen in Penelope Spheeris’ documentary “The Decline of Western Civilization,” but The Bags did not put out a lot of music, and it was hard to find. However, in reading books about the LA punk scene like “We Got The Neutron Bomb” and “Lexicon Devil,” as well as the Slash magazine book, I realized that Alice was a very important figure in the LA scene who has continued to make great music and is an outspoken champion of LatinX and feminist causes. She’s also a very nice person. I’m glad to celebrate Alice for her contributions to culture then and now. If you are unfamiliar with The Bags, I’d recommend picking up “All Bagged Up… The Collected Works 1977-1980.” – Shepard

Little Big Man- Black On Red Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper Deckled Edges by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Pop Art Artwork. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Cleon Peterson (b. 1973) Little Big Man (Black on Red), 2018 Screenprint in colors on Coventry Rag paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 149/150 Signed and numbered in pencil along lower edge Published by the artist "Little Big Man Black On Red" is a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, an American artist known for his bold, graphic style and provocative themes. Peterson's work often explores the darker aspects of human nature, such as violence, power struggles, and societal chaos. His art is heavily influenced by his experiences with drug addiction and recovery, which give his work a unique perspective on the human condition. In "Little Big Man Black On Red," Peterson employs his signature high-contrast color palette, featuring black figures puppeteering President Donald Trump set against a bright red/orange background. The silkscreen print depicts a chaotic scene of figures engaged in various acts of violence and domination. This piece is part of a larger body of work by Peterson, which often addresses themes of power dynamics and the cyclical nature of violence. As a silkscreen print, "Little Big Man Black On Red" is produced using a stencil-based printing process. In this method, an artist creates a stencil, or screen, for each color layer in the artwork. Ink is then pushed through the screen onto a surface, such as paper or canvas. This process allows for the creation of multiple identical prints, which are typically produced in limited editions and signed by the artist. The silkscreen technique is often used by artists for its ability to produce bold, vibrant colors and clean, sharp lines, which are evident in Peterson's striking compositions.

Dunny Kidrobot 20th Anniversary Monochromic Lithograph Print by Tristan Eaton on Fine Art Paper  Limited Edition Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2024 Artist Printed Mark Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Dunny x Kidrobot x Tristan Eaton Anniversary Print Dunny Kidrobot 20th Anniversary Monochromic Lithograph Print by Tristan Eaton The Dunny Kidrobot 20th Anniversary Monochromic Lithograph Print by Tristan Eaton stands as a bold and timeless visual declaration from one of the most influential voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Created in 2024 to commemorate two decades of Kidrobot’s presence as a pioneering force in designer toys and urban collectible culture, this 18x24 inch limited edition lithograph blends design and narrative, abstraction and portraiture, identity and iconography. Each piece is marked and stamped by the artist, part of a 150-print run that defines Eaton’s ability to balance cultural significance with graphic elegance. Tristan Eaton and the Evolution of the Dunny Tristan Eaton has been a defining artist in the Kidrobot universe since its inception, instrumental in shaping the aesthetic DNA of its most iconic figure: the Dunny. This commemorative artwork is a convergence of his past and present, honoring the legacy of the Dunny as both toy and canvas. The left side of the print features the geometric abstraction of the Dunny’s silhouette, rendered in high-contrast black-and-white zigzags and circular motifs, forming a hypnotic pattern that speaks to the object’s role in remix culture and modular identity. As the eye moves across the composition, the right half reveals a detailed grayscale portrait of a mid-century-inspired female figure, painted with the realism and emotion that Eaton is known for. The juxtaposition of this soft, cinematic face with the hard lines and symbolic chaos of the Dunny shape serves as a metaphor for the fusion between high-concept design and pop cultural storytelling—a tension that defines Kidrobot’s twenty-year impact on streetwear, art toys, and underground art. Design Tension and Cultural Commentary This monochromatic split-view composition is not merely an aesthetic decision but an artistic statement. The Dunny’s bold geometry acts as both a frame and a mask—layering history, nostalgia, and commentary on brand identity overtop of Eaton’s classic portraiture. The use of black and white restricts the visual language to form, contrast, and depth, focusing the viewer’s attention on movement, shape, and mood. The unifying white line that outlines the Dunny across both sides draws the eye and bridges the two worlds, much like how Kidrobot has bridged fashion, toys, and art through collaboration and innovation. This piece, printed on fine art paper using museum-grade lithographic methods, holds weight as both a collectible object and a gallery-quality statement. Its clean production and flawless execution highlight the precision with which Eaton approaches his art—even when embedded in a world that thrives on urban grit and chaos. A Tribute to Two Decades of Designer Culture The Dunny Kidrobot 20th Anniversary Monochromic Lithograph Print is not just a celebration of a brand—it is a chronicle of an aesthetic revolution. Kidrobot redefined how collectible objects could exist at the confluence of street culture and fine art, and Tristan Eaton remains one of its most important visual storytellers. With only 150 prints in this edition, each signed and stamped by Eaton, the artwork serves as a rare artifact in the legacy of contemporary visual art. It is at once a graphic memoir and a sleek, sophisticated symbol of how far graffiti and toy culture have traveled—and how far they will continue to evolve.

The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof silkscreen print is a rare collaboration between Shepard Fairey, internationally recognized as OBEY, and stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this limited edition Artist Proof was signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered edition of 100. As an Artist Proof, it holds particular value among collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, symbolizing both artistic experimentation and the direct approval of the creators. Imagery and Urban Context The composition combines stark stencil work with a heavily graffitied wall, embedding the artwork within the raw energy of urban life. At the center, a suited man carries bags labeled with text, positioned alongside a goat, while a police officer passes in the foreground. To the right, a telephone booth punctuates the scene, grounding the work in the everyday architecture of the city. The layering of graffiti tags, political scrawls, and the surreal juxtaposition of figures evoke themes of consumerism, authority, and rebellion. The suited figure in particular hints at urban alienation, while the presence of the goat and booth adds absurdity, making the composition at once humorous and sharply critical. Collaboration Between Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in 1951 in France, is widely credited as the father of stencil graffiti, bringing social commentary directly into the streets of Paris beginning in the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, built his reputation through his OBEY sticker campaign and politically engaged prints, including the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaborative works, such as The Man Who Walks Through Walls, highlight a shared belief in the role of public art as a platform for protest and dialogue. The merging of Fairey’s graphic sensibilities with Blek’s direct stencil approach emphasizes the continuity between two generations of politically minded street artists. Rarity and Significance of the Artist Proof The Artist Proof edition carries special weight within the print world, typically produced in very small quantities and often retained by the artists. Signed by both Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat and marked AP, this print holds heightened collectible value and authenticity. Beyond rarity, its imagery and collaborative nature underscore the strength of street art as a vehicle for political and cultural critique. The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP silkscreen print is not just a fine art object but also a vivid statement on urban culture, consumerism, and resistance, making it a defining example within the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

TP AP Artist Test Proof Print 2006 Unsigned. Testing Out The Process From Shepard Faireys Then Workshop. Black Mono Print, Unsigned, No Markings. Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. TearsBending & Creasing throughout The Margins, Working Artist Copy. Crease Across Lower Right Facing Side. Shepard Fairey's "Chinese Soldier 2 TP Test Print" is a compelling piece that exemplifies the intersection of street art and political commentary, hallmarks of Fairey's work. As an iconic figure in pop and graffiti art, Fairey has long been recognized for his ability to provoke thought and stir public discourse through his art. This particular silkscreen print is a test proof from 2006, emanating from the artist's experimentation with printmaking techniques. Hand-pulled and comprising five colors on thin art paper, this limited edition artwork carries the signature visual style of Fairey's Obey series, which commands attention to the themes of propaganda, control, and societal obedience. The print, depicting a Chinese soldier with a flower protruding from the barrel of his rifle, challenges viewers to question the juxtaposition of military power with peace—a dichotomy often explored in anti-war art and literature. The raw and unrefined nature of this test print adds to its authenticity and makes it a unique collector's piece, especially considering it is a black mono print and is unsigned, with no markings. The lack of signature is particularly notable as it speaks to the essence of street art, where the message often takes precedence over the artist's identity. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is sizable, allowing for an immersive viewing experience that draws the eye to the stark contrasts and the compelling imagery that has become synonymous with Fairey's work. Fairey's influence on street art extends beyond his visual work; his methods and approach have inspiremanyof artists to see the urban landscape as a canvas for commentary and change. His test prints, such as "Chinese Soldier 2," offer a glimpse into his process and an understanding of the experimentation behind his finished pieces. This artwork, while a test piece, stands alone in its powerful message and aesthetic, encapsulating the energy and defiance of street art culture.

"Revolution Girl" is a compelling collaboration between Shepard Fairey, the founder of OBEY, and WK Interact, an artist known for his dynamic street art. This one-color silkscreen print, produced in 2007, exemplifies a confluence of two distinctive styles that have shaped the visual vocabulary of street art and pop culture. Measuring 18x24 inches and printed on Speckletone fine art paper, the piece is part of a limited edition series with only 250. Significantly, this print is dual-signed by both artists, a rarity given that not all prints from this series were signed by WK Interact, and none were numbered, adding a layer of exclusivity to this artwork. The image is a stark, high-contrast depiction that conveys a sense of urgency and defiance, characteristic of Fairey's work, blended with the kinetic energy of WK Interact's approach to street art. The piece features a figure that is an assertive and revolutionary instance, capturing the ethos of protest and empowerment. This artwork speaks to the heart of street art’s purpose—to challenge norms and inspire change through visual disruption. The presence of a small crease on the lower right-facing corner of the print is a testament to its journey and authenticity, a nod to the often impermanent and rugged life of street art. By merging their distinct artistic signatures, Fairey and WK Interact create a narrative that is both a political and aesthetic statement, resonating with the core of pop art’s intent to blur the boundaries between 'high' art and 'low' culture. "Revolution Girl" stands not just as a work of art but as a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of its era, where art became a loudspeaker for social and political discourse. This print is a testament to the influence of street art in the contemporary art scene, marking its evolution from the fringes to a recognized and vital form of artistic expression that engages public consciousness.

Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 Florence Aubenas silkscreen print represents a rare collaboration between American street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen was produced in a signed and numbered limited edition of only 100. Each print bears the signatures of both artists, cementing its importance as a cross-generational dialogue within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, French journalist Florence Aubenas, was abducted and held hostage in Iraq in 2005, making the work a powerful symbol of resilience and the role of art in amplifying human rights issues. Imagery and Symbolism The print merges Shepard Fairey’s graphic, politically charged style with Blek le Rat’s classic stencil approach. Set against the backdrop of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, the work integrates photography and stencil to create a layered street-inspired composition. Aubenas is portrayed standing calmly, her figure rendered in stark black stencil against the stone wall, evoking Blek le Rat’s street interventions. This contrasts with the detailed urban surroundings captured in Fairey’s silkscreen process, creating a tension between the permanence of historical architecture and the urgency of contemporary political struggle. The placement of the figure beneath the street sign grounds the work firmly in Paris, while also symbolizing the global reach of her story. Collaboration Between Icons Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is regarded as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, influencing generations of street artists worldwide, including Banksy. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically charged works such as the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaboration on Florence Aubenas brought together two distinct but complementary approaches: Blek’s commitment to the power of direct stencil imagery in public space and Fairey’s graphic design-driven activism. The result is a work that resonates both as a political statement and as a landmark in the history of street art. Political Resonance and Artistic Legacy This silkscreen print underscores how art can become a tool of awareness and advocacy. By immortalizing Florence Aubenas in their visual language, Fairey and Blek le Rat highlight the risks faced by journalists working in conflict zones and the importance of freedom of expression. With its limited edition size, dual signatures, and thematic depth, the Florence Aubenas print is considered a significant collector’s piece, not only for fans of Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat but also for those who recognize the importance of socially engaged art. It remains a striking example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend aesthetics to confront urgent political realities.

Obey Conformity Trance- Black 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.

Silver Moon Limited Edition 3-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Vellum by Erik Otto Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "Where my mother grew up in Texas, one of the largest employers was NASA, and she was fortunate enough to be present during the Apollo 11 mission that resulted in man's first step on the moon. Through this influence and my early discovery of Carl Sagan, I developed a curiosity for the solar system, the elements that connect us all, and the many symbols different cultures apply to the cosmos. The silver moon concept combines the self-reflective qualities of silver and the healing powers of the moon. Separated marks carefully arranged and suspended within the composition each depict natural elements while producing a suggestive horizon with the moons sitting still in its fullness on a seemingly endless black surface. This piece was created during a time of reinvention within the studio as I committed to producing an all-new body of work exploring the symbolic characteristics of waves and water. " - Erik Otto

Cut it Up Do it Yourself 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey x Beyond The Streets Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Print Size 18x24 August 9, 2019 Beyond The Streets In Store Only Blue Variant "ABOUT The Cut it Up – Do it Yourself print is an iteration of my Obey Icon Face inspired by my history of using an X-acto knife to create designs, make collages, cut spray-paint stencils, and cut illustrations from Rubylith (a graphic art and screen printing film). Many of my well-known images, including the Obey Icon Face, were created using an X-acto, a marker, a photocopier, and cut and paste techniques before I knew how to use a computer. The computer is a great tool, but it can be too safe and sterile… Don’t be afraid to cut things up, make mistakes, and get some overspray on pristine paper!" -Shepard Fairey

MUSACK Terry Hall Tribute Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on True White Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Lynval Golding & Team Specials, Billy Idol, Jane Wiedlin, Tim Armstrong, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, Adrian Young, Fishbone, Jerry Harrison, Tre Cool, Fred Armisen, Jesse Michaels. Donita Sparks.The Jg All-Stars. Bite Me Bambi. Record Safari Gig Poster "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 MUSACK's tribute to the legendary Terry Hall, the iconic singer of the Specials, is encapsulated in a visually arresting silkscreen print crafted by Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY art movement. This piece, hand-pulled in 2-color on True White Speckletone Fine Art Paper, is a testament to the profound influence Terry Hall had on the music industry and its fans. The artwork is an exquisite fusion of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, embodying the very essence of Terry Hall's spirit and impact on the world. Released in 2023 as a signed and numbered limited edition, with only 300 prints in circulation, the artwork measures 18x24 inches. The artistry is profound, drawing inspiration from a poignant photograph Chalkie Davies took. Two versions of this print exist, one showcasing an event lineup and the other serving as a more streamlined homage to Hall. While the black and white prints are available in editions of 325, the one bearing the event lineup is more exclusive, with a count of 300, many of which were already acquired during the event. The backstory of this piece is equally captivating. MUSACK's heartfelt tribute event celebrated Terry's life, boasting a staggering lineup of eminent musicians, from Horace Panter and Lynval Golding of the Specials to Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s, Fishbone, and members of No Doubt, among others. Shepard Fairey's interactions with Terry add depth to the artwork. Terry, in his visits to Shepard's studio, revealed layers of his personality, discussing topics ranging from mental health to the therapeutic nature of creativity. Shepard saw him as a kindred spirit, and their interactions were laden with deep understanding and mutual respect. This artwork, hence, is not just an aesthetic masterpiece but a heartfelt tribute, reverberating with the essence of Terry Hall's life and legacy.

Hello My Name Is AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2019 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Andre the Giant Hello My Name is Name Tag & Graffiti Shepard Fairey is a name that resonates deeply within the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti. Recognized for his iconic "OBEY" campaign, Fairey's contributions to the visual world have been both provocative and impactful. A remarkable embodiment of his prowess is the "Hello My Name Is AP Artist Proof" silkscreen print from 2019. This piece is not only a testament to Fairey's skill as an artist but also speaks volumes about the evolution of street art. Crafted meticulously by hand, this screen print graces cream speckletone fine art paper, adding a touch of vintage charm to the already rich design. The piece is exclusive in its kind, marked as an Artist Proof, setting it apart from regular editions and giving it a special status for collectors and art enthusiasts. The central image – Andre the Giant, reimagined in a 'Hello My Name is' name tag format – serves as a compelling visual anchor. Andre the Giant has been a recurring motif in Fairey's work, symbolizing counterculture, defiance, and the power of art to challenge norms. This particular silkscreen print is not merely an artwork; it's a reflection of the zeitgeist. Street art, having its origins in unsanctioned art displays and graffiti, has grown to become a respected form of artistic expression, blending both dissent and aesthetics. Fairey's representation of Andre the Giant juxtaposed with a ubiquitous name tag showcases the dichotomy of individual identity versus societal labels. For those who find themselves at the intersection of pop culture, graffiti, and contemporary art, "Hello My Name Is AP Artist Proof" by Shepard Fairey is a compelling representation of how street art has transitioned, grown, and left an indelible mark on the visual landscape of our times.

Moonage Daydream 5-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. 2022 Shepard Fairey Numbered Limited Edition of TBD 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. "David Bowie is one of my favorite musicians not only because so many of his songs possess magic, but also because he was creatively fearless and perpetually collaborative. I first discovered David Bowie in 1983 when his Let’s Dance album came out, and its hits like “Let’s Dance,” “China Girl,” and “Modern Love” were getting radio play. I became a die-hard Bowie fan once I picked up Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars at a flea market a few years later. Ziggy Stardust is one of my favorite albums ever. It makes sense that it was Bowie’s breakthrough album, not just because his newly adopted androgynous glam image was provocative and mesmerizing, but because the songs on the album are incredible! At first, my favorites were obvious rockers like “Suffragette City” and “Ziggy Stardust,” but over the years, folkier songs like “Soul Love” and “Starman” really grew on me. It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite Bowie song from Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, much less Bowie’s entire catalog, but if I had to, I’d pick “Moonage Daydream.” It has Mick Ronson’s rocking guitar and also features unexpected instrumentation, including piano, strings, sax, and flute, which makes it both tough and pretty. I love the lyric, “don’t fake it baby… lay the real thing on me,” and all the lyrics have a sci-fi hipster coolness to them. “Moonage Daydream” is powerful, beautiful, hypnotic, hip, and a great indication of Bowie’s vision to push boundaries with his art. For this “Moonage Daydream” print image, I was able to reference outtakes from the Ziggy cover shoot, one of which I thought, with a few artistic liberties taken, could become a great portrait illustration. Bowie was incredibly photogenic, which yielded so many glorious images of him, and makes it a challenge to create a new visage that stands with the rest of his most iconic portraits. It is very meaningful for me to have the opportunity to craft my articulation of one of my favorite artists ever, from possibly the era of his peak creative genius. It is an honor to contribute in a small way to David Bowie’s visual legacy. –Shepard is one of my favorite musicians not only because so many of his songs possess magic, but also because he was creatively fearless and perpetually collaborative.
