Be Reasonable Suburban Pressure Hand-Pulled 3-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey x Jamie Reid Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 375 Artwork Size 18x24 Be Reasonable Urban Pressure Set Suburban Pressure Sex Pistols Music Tribute With Burning Money Mao From China and ROnald Regan "The Sex Pistols changed my life. When I was a 14-year-old skateboarder, a friend played me “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” and that moment marked a turning point for me. The Sex Pistols provided the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for my rebellion. If the Sex Pistols provided the soundtrack, the artist behind their imagery, Jamie Reid, provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid did the iconic art for the Sex Pistols like the “God Save the Queen” sleeve, the “Pretty Vacant” sleeve, and the cover for the album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.” Jamie deserves the majority of credit for the daring aesthetics of Punk Rock. If you’ve ever seen a photocopied, ransom note style, cut & paste punk graphic, then you’ve seen Jamie Reid’s influence. Jamie has been one of my biggest creative inspirations both visually and philosophically, because his work is bold, provocative, irreverent, and political. Jamie Reid also turned me on to Situationism, a movement dedicated to disrupting the conformist trance through pranks and spectacles. I’m honored that I have been able to work with Jamie on some collaborative images and to present a special collection through Obey Clothing in his honor, as well as two limited edition screen-prints. Jamie and I have mutual interest in shaking things up and addressing the problems of corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality, so it is very energizing and meaningful to do a project with him. Enjoy and embrace the chaos!" -Shepard Fairey

The art piece's design showcases an image of a woman, evidently influenced by the music of Neil Young, floating serenely in water.

Such juxtaposition between calm and urban grittiness encapsulates Fairey's ability to combine different elements from varied inspirations into one cohesive and captivating piece.

This Land Is Your Land AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone 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 Neil Young Music Inspired Man Mountains Barbed Wire & The Phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" "This Land Is Your Land AP" is a captivating silkscreen print, hand-pulled by the renowned artist Shepard Fairey, commonly known as OBEY. Crafted in 2012 and marked as an Artist Proof (AP), this piece stands out as a limited edition artwork, underscoring the artist's reputation for producing iconic street and pop art. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is meticulously executed on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, enhancing its visual appeal and ensuring its longevity. Shepard Fairey's inspiration for this artwork emanates from Neil Young's rendition of Woody Guthrie's song, "This Land Is Your Land." At its core, the artwork delves deep into the subjects of immigration policy reform, societal attitudes towards immigrants, and the inherent promise of America. Fairey, a known advocate for immigration policy reform, captures a thought-provoking message, highlighting a lost verse from Guthrie's song. This particular verse poignantly juxtaposes a "No Trespassing" sign with its blank reverse, suggesting that the land is truly meant for everyone, irrespective of societal divisions. The imagery — a man, mountains, barbed wire, and the stark phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" — is a potent blend of aesthetics and ideology. Woody Guthrie, who wrote the original song, was revered for addressing societal issues such as class inequality and the abuse of power. While some labeled Guthrie as "socialist," Fairey's interpretation celebrates him as a compassionate figure who championed the rights of the marginalized. In embracing this theme, Shepard Fairey's artwork becomes not just a visual delight but a profound commentary on contemporary issues, making it an invaluable piece in the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art.

C/S I 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Distressed Pearl White Finish Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2016 Signed by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 P1  Exploring the Intricacies of C/S I by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez has given rise to C/S I, a 9-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that showcases the nuanced synergy between street pop art and graffiti artwork. Crafted in 2016, this work is part of a limited series, each piece bearing the artist's signature and numbered P1 out of 150, marking its exclusivity and importance as a collector's item. The collaboration between these two stalwarts of the street art scene synthesizes their distinct artistic voices into a unified visual statement that resonates with the energy and ethos of the urban landscape from which it draws inspiration. OG Slick, whose roots are firmly planted in the street culture of Los Angeles, brings his iconic imagery to the collaboration. His contributions to the C/S I print are characterized by the cartoon-like gloves that gesture towards the viewer, a direct and impactful use of imagery that has become a signature of his work. This graphical element starkly contrasts the intricate background, inviting a dialogue about the interaction between pop culture and the subversive nature of graffiti art. Signature Elements and Cultural Commentary in C/S I Chaz Bojorquez's influence within the C/S I print is unmistakable. His signature calligraphic style, derived from the Cholo writing of East Los Angeles, provides a rich textual backdrop to Slick's bold graphical elements. The layers of text in print are reminiscent of the palimpsest nature of street art, where messages are layered upon one another, creating a complex tapestry that speaks to the community's pulse. Bojorquez's artistry with letters goes beyond mere aesthetics, delving into the identity politics and social narratives that have always been at the heart of his work. The distressed pearl white finish on the print adds a dimension of age and texture, suggesting a weathered quality often found in street art exposed to the elements. This choice of finish not only enhances the visual depth of the piece but also bridges the gap between the transient nature of street art and the permanence sought by fine art pieces. The Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper, known for its quality and durability, reinforces the intention to preserve the fleeting beauty of street art in a form that stands the test of time. The Limited Edition Nature of C/S I and Its Collectibility The limited edition nature of the C/S I print underscores its value within street pop art and graffiti artwork. The fact that only 150 of these prints exist, each signed by the artists OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, elevates the work from mere reproduction to a coveted art piece. Collectors and enthusiasts of street art are drawn to the visual appeal of the work and the cultural capital that such a limited series represents. Owning a piece of this series is akin to holding a fragment of street art history, a snapshot of the moment when two renowned artists converged to leave an indelible mark on the art world. Impact of C/S I on the Perception of Street Art The impact of C/S I goes beyond the boundaries of traditional graffiti and street art. By situating the work within the context of pop art, OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez challenge the viewer to reconsider the distinctions between high art and urban art forms. The collaboration speaks to the versatility and adaptability of street art, its ability to comment on and absorb influences from various artistic movements, and its persistent quest to gain legitimacy and respect within the art hierarchy. The print's visual elements reflect a sophisticated understanding of cultural symbols, iconography, and the power of the written word, all staples in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on C/S I is symbolic of a movement that refuses to be categorized simplistically, instead insisting on a complex identity as fluid and vibrant as the streets from which it originates. Through their artistic fusion, these artists contribute to the ongoing narrative of street art as a form that constantly evolves yet remains true to its roots in the urban tapestry.

Instead, Bojorquez positions it within a more extensive dialogue about art, culture, and society. This conversation continues to gain relevance as street pop art and graffiti artwork find their way into more traditional art venues and the hearts of a broader public. Chaz Bojorquez's Artistic Legacy Chaz Bojorquez's artistic legacy is cemented not only by his murals and public works but also by his prints, which allow his art to reach a wider audience.

Suburban Pressure Hand-Pulled 3-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey x Jamie Reid Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 375 Artwork Size 18x24 Be Reasonable Urban Pressure Set Suburban Pressure Press Building Burning Sex Pistols Music Tribute "The Sex Pistols changed my life. When I was a 14-year-old skateboarder, a friend played me “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” and that moment marked a turning point for me. The Sex Pistols provided the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for my rebellion. If the Sex Pistols provided the soundtrack, the artist behind their imagery, Jamie Reid, provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid did the iconic art for the Sex Pistols like the “God Save the Queen” sleeve, the “Pretty Vacant” sleeve, and the cover for the album “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols.” Jamie deserves the majority of credit for the daring aesthetics of Punk Rock. If you’ve ever seen a photocopied, ransom note style, cut & paste punk graphic, then you’ve seen Jamie Reid’s influence. Jamie has been one of my biggest creative inspirations both visually and philosophically, because his work is bold, provocative, irreverent, and political. Jamie Reid also turned me on to Situationism, a movement dedicated to disrupting the conformist trance through pranks and spectacles. I’m honored that I have been able to work with Jamie on some collaborative images and to present a special collection through Obey Clothing in his honor, as well as two limited edition screen-prints. Jamie and I have mutual interest in shaking things up and addressing the problems of corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality, so it is very energizing and meaningful to do a project with him. Enjoy and embrace the chaos!" -Shepard Fairey a piece of punk rock history with the Suburban Pressure Hand-Pulled 3-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by renowned artists Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid.

As a skateboarder at the age of 14, Fairey's life was forever changed when he heard the album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." The band's music became the adrenaline-inducing soundtrack for his rebellion, while Jamie Reid's iconic artwork provided the visuals for the revolution. Jamie Reid's artistic contributions to the Sex Pistols cannot be overstated, as he designed iconic artworks such as the "God Save the Queen" sleeve, the "Pretty Vacant" sleeve, and the album cover for "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." His daring and provocative aesthetics played a crucial role in shaping the punk rock movement. The influence of Reid's cut-and-paste punk graphics, resembling photocopied ransom notes, can be observed in numerous punk art pieces. The collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Jamie Reid goes beyond admiration for the punk rock era; they both share a mutual interest in addressing societal issues. The duo seeks to disrupt the conformist trance through their art and address problems like corruption, environmental destruction, and wealth inequality. For Fairey, working with Reid has been an honor and a source of creative inspiration, both visually and philosophically.
