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

Shepard Fairey X Kate Simon The Guns of Brixton (Paul Simonon), 2011 Screenprint in colors on speckled cream paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 450 Signed, numbered and dated in pencil along the lower edge Published by Obey Giant, Los Angeles. "The Guns of Brixton" is a song by the British punk rock band The Clash, written by their bassist Paul Simonon. It was featured on their 1979 album, "London Calling." Paul Simonon's artwork has become iconic in its own right, as he has pursued a successful career as an artist since the dissolution of The Clash. Shepard Fairey is a well-known American street artist, graphic designer, and activist, best known for his "OBEY Giant" campaign and the iconic "Hope" poster created for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Combining his own artistic style with the legacy of punk rock, Fairey has created numerous works inspired by musicians and bands. Shepard Fairey created a silkscreen print inspired by "The Guns of Brixton" and featuring Paul Simonon. In this hypothetical artwork, Fairey would likely incorporate elements of his own signature style, such as bold colors, strong lines, and thought-provoking imagery, while paying tribute to the influence of The Clash and their music. The artwork might include references to the song's lyrics or imagery from the London Calling album cover, which features a photograph of Simonon smashing his bass guitar on stage based on photo by Kate Simon.

No Bees No Honey 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 325 Artwork Size 18x24 Gold Metallic Ink "The Clash are my all-time favorite band and their frontman, Joe Strummer, is a hero of mine for his music, lyrics, wit, compassion for the underdog, and stance against injustice. To celebrate the release of JOE STRUMMER 002 and in honor of Joe’s 70th birthday, a limited edition print inspired by the Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros song, JOHNNY APPLESEED. Joe’s lyric “If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees” applies to lots of things, like mistreating factory workers, but for me the idea that bees are pollinators who are crucial to sustaining Earth’s fragile eco-systems is a powerful idea. I hope to honor Joe’s music and extend his ideas with my No Bees No Honey print. A portion of proceeds will go to the Joe Strummer Foundation." -Shepard Fairey The intersection of street art, pop art, and graffiti has often found its voice through artists who transcend the confines of traditional media to bring forth powerful messages. One such eminent figure in this realm is Shepard Fairey, known widely for his iconic designs and thought-provoking artistry. His piece, "No Bees No Honey," is a color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that stands as a testament to Fairey's artistic prowess and his ability to interweave poignant messages with his art. Created on cream speckle tone paper, the print embodies a vibrant play of colors and is accentuated by gold metallic ink that gives it a unique touch. The allure of this piece, however, isn't just its visual appeal but also its rarity. With only 325 signed and numbered pieces available, it stands as a collector's item and a beacon of Fairey's dedication to his craft. Sized at 18x24, the artwork captures attention with its intricate details and the symbolic imagery it presents. What elevates this piece from merely being a work of art to a profound statement is the backstory that inspired it. The artwork draws its essence from the legacy of Joe Strummer, frontman of "The Clash" and a stalwart figure revered by Fairey. Strummer's dedication to justice, his compassion for the marginalized, and his undying spirit resonate deeply with Fairey, making him a consistent source of inspiration. The inception of "No Bees No Honey" can be traced back to a song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros titled "JOHNNY APPLESEED." A line from this song, "If you’re after getting the honey, then you don’t go killing all the bees," serves as the driving philosophy behind Fairey's artwork. At a glance, this lyric speaks volumes about sustainability and the delicate balance of nature. By delving deeper, one recognizes its applicability to a myriad of societal issues, ranging from the exploitation of factory workers to the broader challenges faced by our ecosystem. The role of bees as indispensable pollinators, ensuring the continuation of life on Earth, is cleverly juxtaposed with Strummer's lyrics, creating an artwork that's as profound in its message as it is stunning in its design. Fairey's commitment to social causes and his admiration for Strummer converge in "No Bees No Honey," but they also manifest in tangible contributions. A part of the proceeds from this artwork is dedicated to the Joe Strummer Foundation, thereby furthering the cause and ensuring that art acts as a vehicle for positive change. In the world of contemporary art, pieces like "No Bees No Honey" remind us of the transformative power of creativity. Shepard Fairey's art is not just an aesthetic pleasure; it's a call to introspection, an invitation to ponder deeper societal issues, and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of figures like Joe Strummer.

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

In this artwork, Fairey melds the band's iconography with his aesthetic to create a piece that is both a homage and a standalone work within the street pop art genre.

The artwork measures 18x30 inches, a size that allows the details and colors to stand out, drawing the viewer into a closer inspection of the interwoven designs. At first glance, "My Heart and Soul" may seem like a simple homage to the classic character of Mickey Mouse. However, upon closer inspection, the print reveals a complex array of tattoos referencing other significant cultural icons, including elements from Disney and Star Wars. This amalgamation of symbols serves not only as an aesthetic choice but also as a narrative device, telling a story that spans across different eras and fandoms. Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork have long been a vibrant and transformative force in visual culture, offering a canvas for artists to challenge norms, express societal commentary, and embrace iconic imagery with a twist. "My Heart and Soul Red Silkscreen Print" by Raid71 encapsulates this spirit, presenting a familiar figure adorned with a tapestry of symbolic tattoos that merge the nostalgic with the contemporary. Technique and Tradition in Silkscreen Printing The technique of silkscreen printing, chosen by Raid71 for this artwork, is a meticulous and hands-on process revered for its ability to produce vibrant, saturated colors and sharp images. Hand-pulling a print requires precision and skill, making each piece unique. This traditional method of printmaking aligns with the ethos of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, where the hand of the artist is valued and the physical act of creation is part of the artwork's narrative. Silkscreen prints have a rich history in pop art and street art, with artists like Andy Warhol popularizing the technique in the 1960s. Raid71's use of this method creates a direct lineage to the pop art movement, while the subject matter and styling of the piece place it firmly in the contemporary conversation of street art. Reflections of Pop Culture in Modern Art "My Heart and Soul" is more than a piece of art; it is a cultural artifact that reflects the pervasive influence of pop culture in modern society. The tattoos adorn the iconic character are not random; they are carefully chosen emblems that many viewers will recognize and connect with.

Raid71's print stands as a testament to the democratization of art, showcasing how universally recognized imagery can be repurposed to create something new and thought-provoking. The Significance of Limited Edition Artworks The decision to produce "My Heart and Soul" as a limited edition print plays a significant role in its desirability and potential legacy. Collectors and enthusiasts of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork often seek out little edition pieces for their exclusivity and investment potential. The practice of numbering and signing each print also adds a personal touch from the artist, creating a connection between the creator and the collector. In the context of street art and pop art, limited editions help to bridge the gap between the often ephemeral nature of street art—typically seen on public walls and therefore subject to change—and the permanence sought by collectors. By offering a finite number of prints, Raid71 ensures that "My Heart and Soul" retains a sense of rarity and value. "My Heart and Soul Red Silkscreen Print" by Raid71 is a vibrant intersection of artistry, pop culture, and printmaking tradition.

Created in 2017, this signed artwork is an 18x24-inch piece executed with acrylic and spray paint, embodying the raw energy and layered narratives that define Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. The piece presents a haunting portrait of a masked individual, rendered in high-contrast black and sepia tones, with textures and distressed effects that evoke themes of resilience, rebellion, and survival. Eddie Colla is known for his ability to capture the psychological and emotional weight of contemporary struggles through his art. His figures, often masked or adorned in protective gear, reflect themes of identity, resistance, and societal unrest. The grommeted edges and weathered surface of this piece reinforce its industrial and urban aesthetic, making it feel like a fragment of a larger, unseen history. This painting is not just a portrait but a narrative encapsulated in texture, symbol, and form, urging viewers to consider the deeper implications of endurance, defiance, and memory. Eddie Colla and His Influence on Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Eddie Colla is an American street artist and contemporary painter whose work frequently explores themes of urban decay, civil disobedience, and existential perseverance. His art is deeply influenced by graffiti culture, punk aesthetics, and dystopian storytelling, often featuring masked figures navigating hostile or uncertain environments. Through his work, Colla addresses issues of personal freedom, governmental control, and the struggles of marginalized communities. 1 • 12 • 5 • 24 exemplifies his signature visual language—characters with obscured identities, layered textures that mimic aged or decayed surfaces, and cryptic numbering or lettering that suggest coded messages or hidden histories. His use of stencil and spray paint techniques, combined with hand-painted elements, bridges the worlds of fine art and street culture, reinforcing the transient and defiant spirit of graffiti. This painting is a striking representation of his ongoing exploration of survival and memory, serving as both an aesthetic statement and a cultural reflection. The Symbolism and Aesthetic Power of 1 • 12 • 5 • 24 The masked figure in this painting stands as a powerful emblem of both protection and protest. The gaze, partially obscured yet intensely expressive, draws the viewer into a moment of contemplation—what is the subject confronting, and what struggles have they endured? The rough, textured background and muted color palette amplify the sense of history embedded in the piece, as if the painting itself has witnessed unseen conflicts and untold stories. The presence of the cryptic numbering, 1 • 12 • 5 • 24, invites interpretation, suggesting themes of coded messages, dates of significance, or an abstract reference to time and memory. Colla’s distressed, layered surfaces reflect the impermanence of both urban landscapes and human experiences. The grommets in the canvas further enhance the industrial aesthetic, reinforcing the idea that this is not just a piece of art but a relic—an artifact from a moment of resistance or an imagined future where survival is an act of defiance. The artwork’s ability to evoke emotion while maintaining a sense of mystery is what makes it a compelling addition to the discourse of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Collectibility and Cultural Impact of Eddie Colla’s Work Eddie Colla’s work has gained significant recognition within contemporary urban art circles, with his pieces exhibited in galleries and public installations worldwide. His ability to translate street culture into fine art has made his work highly collectible among enthusiasts of modern graffiti and dystopian-themed art. This piece, being an original mixed media work, holds unique value as it captures the raw essence of his style and thematic focus. 1 • 12 • 5 • 24 stands as a testament to the resilience of human expression in challenging times. It resonates with audiences who appreciate art that is both visually striking and conceptually profound. The combination of hand-painted details, stencil work, and industrial elements makes it a distinctive work within Colla’s portfolio, reinforcing the importance of art as a means of resistance, remembrance, and social commentary.

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.

Overloading The Grid David Byrne AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Bobby Grossman Hand-Pulled Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist Proof. AP Artist Proof 2024 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Talking Heads Singer David Byrne Photo by Bobby Grossman. "I’ve been a fan of the Talking Heads since I was a kid and heard songs like “Once in A Lifetime” and “Burning Down the House” on the radio, well before I discovered punk rock and understood the Talking Heads’ important role in the nascent punk scene as it developed in NYC at CBGB’s in the mid-70’s. I remember seeing the film Stop Making Sense on HBO as a teen and thinking the Talking Heads singer, David Byrne, was very weird and very fearless to dance around in an absurdly oversized suit. I didn’t yet realize that exploring the awkward nature of existence was precisely Byrne’s strong suit! Later, as I got a little more sophisticated, I realized how creatively adventurous the Talking Heads were both musically and with their visuals." -Shepard Fairey Overloading The Grid David Byrne AP by Shepard Fairey and Bobby Grossman The Overloading The Grid Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2024 brings together two highly influential figures of countercultural visual language: Shepard Fairey and Bobby Grossman. This hand-pulled screen print features the likeness of David Byrne, the iconic frontman of the Talking Heads, based on a classic photograph by Grossman and reimagined through Fairey’s unmistakable graphic aesthetic. Printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper and signed and marked AP by Shepard Fairey, this 18x24 inch edition merges photography, music history, and political design into a single portrait that reflects both artistic legacy and cultural disruption. The Legacy of David Byrne in Visual and Sonic Innovation David Byrne’s influence transcends music and bleeds into the worlds of performance art, fashion, and design. As the lead singer of Talking Heads, Byrne’s cerebral yet experimental style embodied the sensibilities of the downtown New York scene during the punk explosion of the 1970s. With an offbeat stage presence and a flair for embracing discomfort as a thematic device, Byrne made awkwardness a mode of expression and communication. His contributions to music videos, album artwork, and stage productions helped define the visual language of new wave and post-punk, laying the groundwork for a visual narrative style that continues to influence contemporary art and design. Shepard Fairey’s Graphic Interpretation Through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Shepard Fairey’s reinterpretation of Bobby Grossman’s photograph speaks directly to the ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. With signature grid overlays, limited color palettes, and stark shadows, Fairey constructs a visual tension between formality and rebellion. His use of contrast and stylized design imbues the portrait with a power often reserved for propaganda art, reflecting his career-long interest in political messaging and iconography. The screen print format itself holds deep roots in street art and DIY culture, enhancing the piece’s connection to underground aesthetics. Fairey's technique amplifies Byrne’s gaze, turning the portrait into a symbol of creative defiance and urban sophistication. Bobby Grossman’s Influence on Cultural Memory Photographer Bobby Grossman captured the raw, behind-the-scenes energy of New York’s downtown scene with honesty and intimacy. His photography functioned not just as documentation but as an active component of the era’s aesthetic. This collaboration with Fairey pays tribute to Grossman’s influence as an image maker and archivist of punk, pop, and street art culture. His image of Byrne—now stylized, reframed, and elevated—finds new resonance within the larger context of contemporary art. By pairing Grossman’s lens with Fairey’s visual voice, the print becomes more than a portrait; it is a statement on the enduring impact of artists who shaped the language of resistance and reinvention through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

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.

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.

Ian Curtis Heart and Soul Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 3-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I first discovered Joy Division through my friend Jay Haley in 1985-86. Jay was a little more open-minded than I was, so he was listening to aggressive punk and hardcore, but also, more moody music like The Smiths, The Cure, early Cult, and Joy Division. I initially liked some of Joy Division’s melodies, but I generally found the music a bit cold, sparse, and haunting on the verge of depressing. However, the music grew on me over time and the qualities I just described as liabilities became assets. As I grew out of my punk rock orthodoxy phase I realized no band sounded quite like Joy Division. My love of Joy Division has only grown over the years along with my appreciation for their imagery. Joy Division’s image of elegant austerity is often connected to their artwork by Peter Saville, but a lot of credit should go to Kevin Cumminsfor his noir portraits of the band. I’ve loved Cummin’s photography for years, so I was delighted when he agreed to collaborate on a portrait of Ian Curtis, Joy Division’s singer who took his own life in 1980 at 23. Curtis was a unique singer but also a powerful lyricist, so the lyrics to the song Heart and Soul are woven through the art along with an angular divide through Curtis’s figure symbolizing the tension between heart and soul. Since Kevin actually knew Ian, I appreciated that he would allow me to interpret his iconic photo!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Ian Curtis Heart and Soul" silkscreen print is a powerful tribute to the enigmatic Joy Division frontman and his profound impact on music and visual culture. Released in 2023, this limited edition print encapsulates Fairey's deep personal connection to Curtis and the band's enduring legacy. The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches and limited to a series of 500, is meticulously hand-pulled, showcasing three colors on cream speckletone fine art paper, underscoring the raw and textured essence of the subject matter. Fairey's engagement with Joy Division's work began in the mid-1980s, a time marked by a musical awakening as he transitioned from a strict punk perspective to a broader appreciation of the haunting, sad sounds that defined Joy Division's discography. Fairey candidly discusses how the initial perception of the music as 'cold and haunting' eventually morphed into an understanding of its depth and uniqueness, revealing a narrative of personal and artistic growth. Integral to this print is Fairey's collaboration with Kevin Cummins, a photographer renowned for his poignant portraits of Joy Division, which have significantly shaped the band's visual narrative. The decision to weave the lyrics of "Heart and Soul" into the fabric of the portrait is both a literal and figurative intertwining of Curtis's lyrical genius with his visual representation. This design choice also hints at the complexities of Curtis's personal struggles, echoed in the stark contrast that bisects his figure in the artwork—a poignant reminder of the internal discord between passion and reason, emotion and intellect. Fairey's print is not merely a visual piece but a narrative collage that pays homage to the artistic influence and legacy of Ian Curtis. By embedding the soul-stirring lyrics of "Heart and Soul" within the artwork, Fairey invites viewers to engage with the piece on multiple levels: aesthetically, emotionally, and intellectually. The print transcends mere representation, becoming a conduit for the artist's reverence for Curtis's talents as a singer and lyricist and the enduring impact of Joy Division on music and popular culture, ensuring that the heart and soul of Ian Curtis's artistry continue to resonate through time.

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.

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.

Putin’s Ashes Pussy Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Pussy Riot Woman in Mask With Vladimir Putin From Russia "I have admired Pussy Riot and Nadya Tolokonnikova since I first saw their visually and sonically fierce performances, methods of protest, and messages of social justice. I’ve wanted to collaborate with Nadya and Pussy Riot for years because of our shared belief that art and performance are powerful tools of social change. Pussy Riot has been subjected to Putin’s brutality and methods of oppression firsthand, so their comments on Putin and the invasion of Ukraine are especially relevant. Putin’s Ashes is a beautiful, haunting, evocative video and music piece. In working on a visual for Nadya’s show at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, I illustrated from video stills and imagery that Nadya provided in an attempt to encapsulate the powerful aesthetics of Pussy Riot and the narrative of the music video piece. I’m honored to collaborate with Nadya, who I think is one of the most fearless, articulate, and outspoken multi-media artists and activists working today." -Shepard Fairey In the realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, the 2023 signed and numbered limited edition silkscreen print, titled "Putin’s Ashes," captures the essence of activism and social justice through powerful imagery. Created by renowned artist Shepard Fairey, known for his iconic OBEY campaign and artistic expressions of political dissent, this artwork is a homage to the Russian punk protest group Pussy Riot and their fearless leader Nadya Tolokonnikova. Fairey's admiration for Pussy Riot's visually and sonically fierce performances, along with their unwavering commitment to social change, is evident in this piece. Drawing inspiration from the group's music video, "Putin’s Ashes," which denounces Vladimir Putin's oppression and the invasion of Ukraine, the silkscreen print portrays a woman wearing a mask in defiance of authority, standing resolute in the face of adversity. The limited edition print, hand-pulled on cream Speckletone fine art paper, measures 18x24, adding to its collectible allure. With only 450 copies in existence, the artwork holds a significant place in contemporary pop art culture. Nadya Tolokonnikova's collaboration with Shepard Fairey is a perfect union of like-minded activists who believe in the transformative power of art and performance. Both artists share the conviction that their work can be a potent tool for challenging societal norms and fostering change. Fairey's meticulous attention to detail, derived from video stills and imagery provided by Nadya, captures the raw aesthetics and narrative of Pussy Riot's music video, translating it into a visual medium that echoes their powerful message. The artwork's theme is poignantly relevant, considering Pussy Riot's firsthand experience with Putin's oppressive tactics. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the group's resilience in the face of brutal suppression and their unyielding commitment to speaking truth to power through their art. "Putin’s Ashes" is not only a striking piece of pop street art but also a testament to the impact that art can have on society. Through this limited edition silkscreen print, Shepard Fairey and Pussy Riot continue to inspire and provoke conversations about the role of art in shaping a more just and equitable world.

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
