Red & Cream Sedation in Bloom Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2021 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Sedation in Bloom Silkscreen Print Series.  "I originally worked on this poppy pattern art as part of my collaboration with artist Gordon Cheung. In our piece, we addressed the tragic murder of Vincent Chin and the historical use of anti-Asian imagery and symbols in Western culture. The poppy is a beautiful flower with many symbolic interpretations, including peace, death, sleep, and sedation. I often weave floral and decorative patterns into my art to draw viewers in and make challenging concepts more digestible. However, decorative appeal can sedate people and distract them from more important social issues. Whether in entertainment, alcohol, drugs, or conspicuous consumption, I think sedation is a major cause of social and political complacency and ignorance. These Sedation In Bloom prints serve the dual purpose of a decorative escape and a reminder to stay awake and aware!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Sedation in Bloom: A Convergence of Beauty and Consciousness in Street Pop Art Shepard Fairey, an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator, and founder of OBEY Clothing, has long been a defining figure in the street art movement. Born on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey's work emerged from the skateboarding scene and has since transcended the confines of street pop art and graffiti artwork to become a recognized global phenomenon. The Dual Nature of the Poppy in Fairey's Work Fairey's Sedation in Bloom series represents a nuanced intersection of aesthetics and socio-political commentary. The limited edition silkscreen prints, specifically the Red & Cream Sedation in Bloom, present an intricate poppy pattern against a cream speckle tone fine art paper. Each artwork in this edition of 150 pieces bears Fairey's signature, indicating authenticity and his personal touch. The dimensions of 18x24 inches offer a substantial canvas for the visual interplay of vibrant red against a serene cream backdrop, creating a captivating, visually striking, and symbolically rich contrast. The poppy, a central motif in this series, has many meanings. It is a flower associated with peace and death, and its narcotic properties connect it to sleep and sedation. Fairey manipulates the natural allure of the poppy to entice the viewer, employing its inherent beauty as a vessel for more profound reflection. The paradoxical use of the poppy in his artwork draws attention to the seductive qualities of the very things that lull society into a state of complacency – entertainment, alcohol, drugs, and materialism. Art as a Vehicle for Social Commentary and Awareness Fairey's collaboration with British-Chinese artist Gordon Cheung on this series underscores a shared commitment to addressing critical social issues. The poppy pattern, initially conceptualized for their joint piece tackling the tragic murder of Vincent Chin and the historical exploitation of anti-Asian sentiments, transcends its aesthetic value. It becomes a poignant commentary on how seductive imagery and symbols can be utilized to obscure and distract from pressing societal concerns. Fairey's art, notably this silkscreen print series, is not just a decorative artifact; it serves a dual purpose – to offer an escape and simultaneously to act as a wake-up call, urging viewers to remain conscious and engaged with the world around them. The Sedation in Bloom series exemplifies Fairey's philosophy that art should challenge the viewer, not just aesthetically but intellectually and morally. In the tradition of excellent street pop art, these pieces blur the boundaries between high and low culture, between art and activism. Fairey does not merely seek to beautify spaces with his work; he aims to provoke thought and inspire action. The decorative patterns and striking color contrasts are meticulously crafted to draw people in, only to confront them with the underlying message that beauty should not be a sedative but a stimulant for awareness and change. The enduring relevance of Fairey's work lies in its ability to navigate the complex dynamics of visual culture in a society saturated with imagery designed to sell, distract, and sedate. Fairey empowers the public to see beyond the surface and question the status quo by imbuing his street pop art and graffiti artwork with critical discourse. The Red & Cream Sedation in Bloom silkscreen print stands as a testament to the potential of street art to transcend the walls upon which it is placed and to foster a dialogue that extends into the social and political realms. In examining Fairey's contributions through the lens of his Sedation in Bloom series, one observes an artist deeply attuned to the power of imagery in shaping perceptions and behaviors. As an agent of change through visual language, Fairey's work encourages a vigilant and discerning gaze – a call to action for a society often too readily sedated by the opiate of the visually and materially appealing. It is through pieces like Sedation in Bloom that Fairey's voice resonates, imploring viewers to awaken from their slumber and engage with the pressing issues of our time.

Don't Be a MFR AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Don't Be A Mother Fucker. Don't Be A MOTHER#*X!! R Respect & Justice. The Provocative Appeal of 'Don't Be a MFR' by Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's 'Don't Be a MFR AP' is a bold exemplar in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Fairey, an American artist and provocateur born on February 15, 1970, continues to push the boundaries of art and activism. This particular work, part of an artist-proof (AP) series released in 2015, is characteristic of Fairey's approach to engaging with cultural and societal themes through his art. The hand-pulled 5-color silkscreen print on cream speckle tone paper echoes Fairey's distinctive aesthetic while carrying a strong message of respect and justice. Symbolism and Messaging in 'Don't Be a MFR' The artwork's title, 'Don't Be a MFR,' captures the eye with its intentional censoring, a tactic that allows for a broad interpretation and stirs curiosity. Within the limited edition series of 550, each piece sized at 18x24 inches, Fairey's work resonates with the power of command and the gravity of a public service announcement. The print is decorated with the words' Respect & Justice,' a direct call to action central to much of Fairey's oeuvre. Fairey employs symbols like the skull enveloped in a flower, a duality that speaks to the juxtaposition of life and death, growth and decay, reinforcing the message of the consequences of one's actions. The overall design is reminiscent of emblems and seals, often associated with authority and institutions, which Fairey repurposes to deliver his socio-political commentary. The choice of bold, angular graphics, in conjunction with the roundness of the emblematic seal, displays the tension between disruption and order, a recurrent theme in street pop art. Impact on Street Pop Art and Cultural Discourse The 'Don't Be a MFR' series exemplifies the potential of street pop art to serve as a medium for societal reflection and critique. The use of a public vernacular and the direct address to the viewer exemplify Fairey's commitment to making art accessible and demanding attention. Each print in the series, bearing Fairey's signature, is a testament to the belief that art should not shy away from controversy but rather confront and challenge the viewer. This piece, in particular, adds to the rich tapestry of graffiti artwork that has historically been used to communicate messages to a broad audience, often bypassing traditional media and institutional spaces. Fairey's work is a modern-day manifestation of this tradition, utilizing the urban canvas to prompt a public introspection on issues of respect and justice. The artwork serves not just as a visual spectacle but as a catalyst for conversation and, ideally, for action. Shepard Fairey and the Continuum of Artistic Activism Shepard Fairey's 'Don't Be a MFR' continues the artist's enduring legacy in art and activism. Residing in Los Angeles, California, Fairey remains a significant influence, harnessing the vibrancy of street pop art to voice his dissent and mobilize public sentiment. His work is anchored in the belief that art is a powerful change agent capable of inspiring individuals to think critically about the world around them. This particular silkscreen print carries the OBEY logo, an integral aspect of Fairey's brand, which doubles as a command and a critique of authoritarian tendencies. The artwork's appeal lies in its ability to be aggressive and reflective at once, pushing observers to consider their role in maintaining or disrupting social justice. Fairey's dedication to the intersection of art and societal issues solidifies his position as an artist and a significant cultural instigator in contemporary times.

Cost of Oil AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. The "Cost of Oil" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a provocative piece that cuts to the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork's capacity to confront and question socio-political issues. Released in 2008 as an artist proof (AP), this limited edition artwork is a visual exploration of the themes of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the geopolitical ramifications implicit in the pursuit of oil. Signed and marked as an AP by Fairey, the piece measures 18x24 inches and is printed on cream speckletone fine art paper. Known for his intelligent and critical approach to cultural commentary, Fairey's "Cost of Oil" embodies the essence of his street pop art practice. The artwork is anchored by the bold, declarative question, "What is the cost of oil?" which resonates against the backdrop of a commanding visual narrative. The image features a solitary figure, clad in a shirt emblazoned with "USA," filling up a Hummer's gas tank—a potent symbol of American consumption and the military-industrial complex. The radiant sunburst behind the figure and the dripping blood-red bottom underscores the dichotomy of light and darkness in the discourse around freedom and its costs. This 2-color hand-pulled print is a quintessential example of Fairey's work, aligning itself with the 'OBEY' campaign's goal to stimulate discussion and reflect on the pervasive propaganda in public spaces. The 'OBEY' motif has always sought to challenge observers to question the mechanisms and messages in their environment, and "Cost of Oil" extends this challenge to the global issue of oil dependency and its vast implications. As a piece of street pop art, the "Cost of Oil" is a catalyst for dialogue, pushing the boundaries of what art can communicate and how it can influence public thought. It's a stark reminder of the power of visual art as a means of activism and advocacy and of Fairey's enduring role in using his art to spotlight crucial issues. The print remains a relevant and stirring piece within the oeuvre of Fairey's work and the larger conversation about energy, environmentalism, and the actual price of consumption.

Bubble Tea 5-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 250gsm White Stonehenge Paper by Shishidomia Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed Limited Edition of 20 Size 18x24 high-quality screen prints are five colors, hand-pulled on Stonehenge 250 GSM white. The Japanese graphics on each print have a translucent embellishment that pops depending on lighting and your particular setting. Specs/ Additional info: Size: 18 x 24" Each print is hand-signed and numbered Edition of 20. "I love the idea of creation and the beauty of pure imagination. I see my work as a window to a parallel world where we can all belong. A world where the beauty of the Japanese Edo period clashes with the power of present symbols.of Western culture and modernity. As a half-Japanese woman growing up in one of the most homogeneous countries in the world (Japan), I spent most of my life searching for a sense of belonging. It forced me to create my reality, a reality of Shuiro Emotions." -Shishidomia Exploring Shishidomia's Fusion of Edo Tradition and Modern Street Pop Art Shishidomia, the artist renowned for her unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary urban art, presents a striking limited edition silkscreen print series titled 'Bubble Tea.' This series exemplifies her signature fusion of Edo period elements with modern-day iconography, creating an engaging piece of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Limited to an exclusive run of just 20 pieces, each hand-pulled print is a testament to Shishidomia's meticulous craftsmanship and creative vision. Born from the creative depths of Shishidomia's dual heritage, the 'Bubble Tea' silkscreen series is a visual narrative that addresses the complex themes of identity and belonging. Each 18x24 inch print is painstakingly produced on 250gsm Stonehenge paper, a high-quality substrate revered for its durability and rich texture. The series boasts five colors, each layer hand-applied with precision, culminating in a piece that radiates both vibrancy and subtlety. The Japanese characters adorning the prints shimmer with a translucent quality, their luminescence shifting with ambient light and perspective changes. The Artistic Intersection of Japanese Edo Charm and Contemporary Culture Shishidomia's work is a window into a world where past and present merge. The 'Bubble Tea' series is a striking example of this, juxtaposing the grace of the Japanese Edo period against the backdrop of Western cultural symbols and modernity. This piece features a whimsical character, a nod to the historic Ukiyo-e style, sipping bubble tea, a trendy drink emblematic of modern global culture. The contrast is further highlighted by the character's attire, a blend of a traditional kimono patterned with contemporary floral designs and modern sneakers, emphasizing the time-spanning dialogue that Shishidomia invites us to partake in. Each print is not merely a static image but an interactive experience that changes with its surroundings. The choice of Stonehenge paper adds a tactile dimension, its delicate yet substantial feel enhancing the visual impact. Shishidomia's dedication to her craft is evident in the details: the hand-pulled silkscreen printing method ensures that each color is vibrant and full of life, with even the most minor details executed with the utmost care. Shishidomia's Personal Journey and Artistic Identity The narrative behind Shishidomia's art is as compelling as the pieces themselves. A half-Japanese artist grappling with her identity in a homogenized society, her quest for a place where she belongs drove her to create a unique artistic realm. She constructs a reality filled with 'Shuiro Emotions,' a concept that embodies her emotional and cultural journey. Her prints serve as artifacts of artistic expression and milestones on her path to self-discovery. Her prints are more than just art; they are pieces of a larger conversation about the nature of identity in a rapidly globalizing world. They ask the viewer to consider how disparate cultural elements can coexist and enrich one another, like the various influences shaping Shishidomia's life. Each print, hand-signed and numbered, carries a piece of the artist's soul and a fragment of her story—Shishidomia's commitment to creating a world where tradition and innovation merge is a hallmark of her work. The 'Bubble Tea' series captures this vision with its artful blend of historical Japanese iconography and modern-day cultural elements, resulting in a piece of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork that is thought-provoking and visually stunning. As with all great art, it challenges the viewer, posing questions about cultural authenticity, appropriation, and the synthesis of old and new. Shishidomia's contribution to the art world goes beyond visual aesthetics. Her work acts as a bridge for viewers to access not only the beauty of Japanese culture but also the universal quest for belonging in a constantly evolving world. Through her prints, we are invited to contemplate the fluidity of identity and the boundless potential of the imagination, illustrating that art can become a unifying language transcending time and place.

Idiocracy Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Idiocracy" limited edition print encapsulates the convergence of pop culture and social critique through the lens of contemporary art. Renowned for his subversive street art and graphic designs, Fairey extends his canvas to fine art paper in this 2016 artwork, limited to 550 signed and numbered pieces. The 18x24 silkscreen print features a four-color palette and is a tangible expression of Fairey’s dedication to using art as a medium for commentary on societal issues. Drawing inspiration from Mike Judge's satirical film "Idiocracy," Fairey's print is not only a visual tribute but also a critique of the film’s themes—depicting the troubling rise of anti-intellectualism and the cultural dismissal of enlightenment and sophistication. Fairey himself praises the film's use of humor to present its social criticism in a more palatable form, creating a space for reflection rather than alienation. His artwork captures the film’s ironic humor, using a brain under the guise of a vending machine product—emblematic of commodification and the oversimplification of complex ideas. This print, like many of Fairey’s works, is imbued with a sense of urgency and a call to awareness. It encapsulates the artist's view that the realms of art, humor, and entertainment can effectively intersect to deliver powerful messages about the current state of society. Fairey’s "Idiocracy" is not merely a piece to be admired for its aesthetic appeal, but a statement piece that encapsulates the pressing cultural narrative around the value of intelligence and the dangers of its rejection in public discourse. The visual elements of the print—the juxtaposition of a brain with a hand grenade, the stark and commanding typography, and the bold colors—are characteristic of Fairey's style. They are employed here not only to draw the eye but also to provoke thought, embodying the essence of graffiti and street art as tools for social engagement. In a culture increasingly leaning towards anti-intellectual sentiment, Fairey’s "Idiocracy" stands as a critical beacon in modern pop art, reminding viewers of the power of art as a reflective and transformative force.

Freedom/Prosperity At Any Price- Red Limited Edition Hand Pulled 2-Color Screenprint Print on 290gsm Arches Rag Paper with Deckled Edges by Cleon Peterson Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Hand-pulled 18 x 24" screenprint. Printed on 290gsm Arches Rag paper with deckled edges. Each print is signed and numbered. Limited edition of 125. The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

Modular Silkscreen Print by Add Fuel x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "Diogo Machado aka ADD FUEL’s art functions on several levels literally and metaphorically. His pieces master the aesthetics of traditional Portuguese tile work while adding his own playful character illustrations subversively woven into the designs. These two seemingly disparate styles are so elegantly blended together that discovering the oddity within the harmony is both bizarre and joyful. The actual and faux rips ADD FUEL incorporates into his art are more than just a nod to paper, the common material of modern street art, they’re also a provocative bit of visual dissonance since tiles don’t rip. Despite the incongruity of tiles and rips, ADD FUEL’s visually seductive compositions evoke a sense of time passed and a story behind each layer." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY In the sphere of contemporary art, the collaborative silkscreen print by Add Fuel and Shepard Fairey represents a unique fusion of traditional motifs and modern sensibilities. This limited edition piece, restricted to a run of 500 and signed and numbered by the artists, is a striking example of pop culture artistry on a cream speckletone fine art paper, measuring 18x24 inches. Created in 2022, this 5-color hand-pulled print showcases the distinct styles of both artists, marrying the classical aesthetic of Portuguese tile design with the urban edge of graffiti art. Diogo Machado, who operates under the alias Add Fuel, reimagines the conventional ceramic tile as a canvas for street art. His contribution to this print is distinguished by the intricate simulation of traditional tile patterns, interspersed with his characteristic playful characters that add a layer of whimsy and critique. The interplay of these detailed designs with Shepard Fairey's iconic Obey imagery lends the work a complex, layered narrative. Fairey, a luminary in the street art movement, brings his bold graphics and propagandistic flair to the collaboration, creating a visual dialogue between past and present artistic expressions. The print's allure is amplified by the intentional 'rips' trailing its surface. This clever trompe l'oeil effect disrupts the tilework's permanence with the ephemeral nature of paper, a staple medium for street artists. These artificial tears challenge viewers' perceptions, hinting at the transient nature of art and commentary on the fragility of cultural heritage. As Fairey noted, the juxtaposition of durable ceramic and tearable paper forms a compelling contrast that is visually arresting and conceptually profound. This artwork transcends the boundaries of its medium, inviting contemplation on the evolution of artistic expression and the enduring impact of cultural symbols. In this union of Add Fuel's meticulous craftsmanship and Shepard Fairey's aggressive style, a new narrative emerges, one that celebrates both individual creativity and the collective memory encapsulated within traditional art forms.

LAFC Calavera- AP Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Latino Artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Limited Edition Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2021 Signed & Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 The LAFC Los Angeles Football Club Soccer Calavera by Boyle Heights Artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano. “LAFC is LA culture. It was an honor to create a new Calavera symbol for this Club, and to honor loved ones who have passed.” -Ernesto Yerena Montejano Amid the bustling streets of Boyle Heights, a distinctive artwork captures the very essence of Los Angeles' vibrant soccer culture. The LAFC Calavera, created by renowned Latino artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano, exemplifies the fervent intersection of sports and art. Hand-pulled in the meticulous process of silkscreen printing on fine art paper, this piece is not just any artwork. It is an Artist Proof (AP) from 2021, indicating that it's among the first impressions made from the stencil, meticulously examined for quality and consistency before the final run. Ernesto Yerena Montejano, known for his commitment to producing resonating art under his brand "Hecho Con Ganas," has intricately designed this masterpiece. His depiction of the Calavera, a symbol commonly associated with the Day of the Dead, integrates seamlessly with the ethos of the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). As Montejano himself puts it, "LAFC is LA culture." The artwork is not just an emblem of a soccer club; it is a tribute to the departed, a nod to the cultural significance of remembering loved ones. Artworks such as the LAFC Calavera draw their lineage from the vibrant traditions of pop art, street art, and graffiti. These genres challenge convention, often merging disparate symbols and contexts to create meaning. Montejano's Calavera stands as a testament to the power of such fusion, intertwining the energy of LA's soccer scene with profound cultural symbols. The 18x24 signed and marked limited edition piece is more than just a visual treat; it's a narrative of identity, passion, and remembrance, immortalized in ink and paper.

Sadistic Dog Walker- Red 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Screen Print SADISTIC DOG WALKER (RED) 24 inches by 33 inches Edition of 450 November 15, 2021 I’ve made several images over the years addressing police brutality, and I think humor and absurdity help make such a heavy topic more digestible. There is a violent history of police dogs being used to attack civil rights protesters, which contrasts intensely with the blissful perspective of white dog owners who pamper their dogs and hire dog walkers. Some of us never have to think about how the police abuse their power more frequently in non-white and lower-income communities. This “Sadistic Dog Walker” image encourages us to be aware of the “two Americas.” – Shepard

Ali was a civil rights activist, a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, a philanthropist, and a U.N. Messenger of Peace. I admire that Ali stood up for what he believed even when he potentially faced jail and the end of his boxing career. The Chestnut St. YMCA, where we painted the Ali mural, is blocks from Ali's childhood school and a place he frequented in his youth. I'm very grateful to the YMCA for providing an incredible wall with an authentic connection to Ali's life. A project of this magnitude can't come to fruition without many people collaborating generously." -Shepard Fairey. Few names in pop and street art have achieved as much recognition and influence as Shepard Fairey, the creative force behind the OBEY brand. Fairey's "Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Ideals" silkscreen print is a testament to his craftsmanship as an artist and his dedication to spotlighting iconic figures with profound cultural significance. Drawing inspiration from a striking photograph by Howard Bingham, Fairey's depiction of a young Muhammad Ali in a suit is a compelling reflection of the boxer's legacy beyond the ring. This piece doesn't just highlight Ali as a world-class athlete but as a man deeply embedded in the socio-political issues of his time. Ali's vehement opposition to the Vietnam War, his role in the civil rights movement, and his later endeavors as a philanthropist and U.N. Messenger of Peace symbolize a life of purpose and conviction. In his tribute, Fairey magnifies these ideals, portraying Ali as a boxing legend and an activist willing to jeopardize his career and personal freedom for his beliefs. The choice of venue for the mural, the Chestnut St. YMCA, holds a poignant significance. Located blocks from Ali's childhood school and a regular spot for the young boxer, the YMCA wall is an authentic canvas, connecting Ali's formative years with his enduring legacy. Through this artwork, Fairey's intricate detailing, combined with his nuanced understanding of Ali's life, elevates the narrative of street and pop art. It underscores the potential of this medium to not only captivate visually but to instigate reflection on the profound impact of its subjects on history and culture.

Just Future Rising 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered, Just Future Rising 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 450 June 23, 2021 "I created for the Time “VOTE” cover just before the 2020 election. At the time, I wanted to address the very unique situation we were in as a country as we faced the Covid-19 pandemic, unrest around police brutality and racial discrimination, voter suppression, and intense political division. We are still facing all of those things, though the development of Covid vaccines has significantly improved public safety and benefitted the fight to end the pandemic. In this illustration, the usually clear-cut rebel symbol of a bandana covering a face takes on a different meaning during Covid, becoming an emblem of safety, respect for one’s fellow citizens, and a sign that the wearer believes in science." -Shepard Fairey The "Just Future Rising" is a striking silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, an artist renowned for his profound impact on street and pop art through the OBEY series. This limited edition artwork, measuring 18 by 24 inches, was released on June 23, 2021, in a numbered series of 450 pieces. Each print is hand-pulled, utilizing four colors on fine speckle tone paper, highlighting Fairey's signature style that merges art with social commentary. This piece is an extension of his engagement with contemporary issues, as it initially accompanied the Time magazine “VOTE” cover crafted in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Fairey's work consistently echoes themes of political activism and cultural critique, and "Just Future Rising" is a vivid representation of that ethos. The image reflects the turbulent climate of its creation: a nation grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, societal upheaval stemming from racial injustice, the challenges to democracy through voter suppression, and deep-seated political polarization. In this print, the image of a woman with a bandana covering her face symbolizes a multifaceted narrative—transforming a traditional sign of rebellion into a symbol of safety and solidarity in the face of a public health crisis. The bandana, adorned with intricate patterns, carries a badge that reads "The Future is Unwritten," reinforcing the message that change is possible and the future is in the hands of the people. Fairey's choice to depict the bandana, a classic rebel icon, as a protective mask denotes a profound shift in cultural symbols due to the pandemic. It reflects a respect for science and an acknowledgment of the collective effort required to navigate the crisis. The artwork transcends mere aesthetics, embodying the message that caring for one's community and being considerate of public health are now acts of rebellion in their own right. This resonates deeply with the artist's long-standing commitment to using his craft to support social and political change. In the portfolio of Shepard Fairey's creations, "Just Future Rising" is not just a piece of pop artwork; it is a cultural artifact born out of an era defined by upheaval and a call to action. It stands as a reminder of the power of art to influence discourse, inspire action, and reflect the complexities of the human experience in times of adversity.

Wasted Youth- Your Eyes Here Cac Malaga Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x D*Face Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed By F*Face & Shepard Fairey, Numbered Screen Print “WASTED YOUTH / YOUR EYES HERE” (CAC MALAGA EDITION) Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 400 July 16, 2015 D*Face and I enjoy collaborating and we both agreed that it would be great to do a print to celebrate our simultaneous shows at the CAC Málaga. We used very different color palettes in our murals there so we decided that since we both liked black, red, and silver – that we could put our chromatic differences aside and join forces on those three colors for the print. I’d still recommend seeing the murals in person if you have the opportunity, but this print is an avatar I can be proud of. All of the prints are signed by me and D*Face so you know that meant they had to travel to Spain and back – luckily, they’re all in good shape. Thanks to the CAC Málaga for facilitating such a great show for both of us! -Shepard

Prophets Of Rage New Day Rising Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2017 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 600 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Prophets Of Rage Rap Music Group Fist in the Air. Visual art and music often produce iconic imagery that transcends time, and Shepard Fairey's "Prophets Of Rage New Day Rising" silkscreen print is a prime example of this phenomenon. Created in 2017, this piece is a visually arresting representation of the rap music group Prophets of Rage, a band known for its socially conscious music and activism. This artwork is part of a limited edition series, with only 600 signed and numbered prints, further accentuating its exclusivity and collectible nature. Each print, sized at 18x24 inches, is a hand-pulled two-color silkscreen on cream speckletone fine art paper, a testament to Fairey's meticulous crafting process and his commitment to quality. Fairey, a stalwart figure in contemporary street art, often referred to by his Obey brand, infuses his works with pop culture references and political messages, and this print is no exception. The central image of a clenched fist raised in the air is a universal symbol of resistance and solidarity. This motif, set against a red star, resonates with the band's radical ethos and calls to mind a long history of protest art. The inclusion of skeletal figures and apocalyptic imagery on the periphery serves to highlight the group's message of political upheaval and the need for systemic change. This print is not just a piece of merchandise for fans of the band; it stands on its own as a significant work within pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Fairey's work bridges the gap between art and social commentary, embodying the spirit of hip-hop culture's roots in activism and public discourse. The stark contrast of colors and the use of a globe in the backdrop suggest a worldwide call to action, one that is reflective of the global influence of hip-hop culture itself. Moreover, Fairey's "Prophets Of Rage New Day Rising" is emblematic of the capacity of street art to elevate popular culture and political thought into the realm of high art. By appropriating the visual language of the streets and the urgency of rap music's social critique, Fairey delivers a powerful statement on the role of the artist as a social commentator and the potential of art to ignite conversation. This piece serves as a reminder of the potency of visual expression in pop culture and its ability to encapsulate the zeitgeist of a movement, a moment, or in this case, the fierce energy of a band like Prophets of Rage.

I’m a huge sneaker fan, and my personal collection is ever-growing. Combining my love for sneakers, the designers who make them, and comic-book style superheroes, I created a series of portraits dedicated to the designers that I consider to be incredible. To me, they are superheroes. They are ‘SneakerHeroes. Few shoes in the 30-plus-year history of the Air Jordan line are as infamous as the black and red Air Jordan 1. The sneaker—known as the 'Banned' Jordan 1—has been perennially important, from the mythology around its genesis to the fervor its retros inspire. Here's how it all happened. The story goes that Michael Jordan was fined $5,000 by the NBA every time he wore the shoes during their debut in 1984 because they broke the league's uniform rules.

His creation, a 4-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print on fine art paper, embodies the ethos of Pop Art with its bold colors and graphic clarity. Yet, it also carries the raw, unfiltered voice found in street and graffiti art. Created in 2019, this artwork is not just a visual statement but a piece of cultural dialogue that resonates with themes of identity, dignity, and the flowering of the human spirit under the weight of societal challenges. Ernesto Yerena Montejano, operating under his studio name, Hecho Con Ganas, has etched his name in the annals of Chicano and Pop Art through his consistent output of visually compelling and thought-provoking artworks. His "Flowering Dignity" print, part of a limited edition of 200, is particularly significant. Measuring 18x24 inches, each piece is meticulously signed and numbered by the artist, underscoring the personal connection and authenticity that Montejano brings to his work. It is this authenticity that allows the artwork to resonate deeply with its audience, providing a unique aesthetic experience steeped in cultural significance. Montejano's work is characterized by a fusion of traditional motifs with contemporary issues, a visual commentary that mirrors the dual heritage many Mexican Americans navigate. In "Flowering Dignity," the central motif—a stylized flower—bursts with energy, its petals unfurling in a display of resilience and beauty. This imagery, juxtaposed against a backdrop of radiating lines, suggests an awakening, a burst of life and dignity against a structured, perhaps restrictive background. As a piece of Pop Art, it transcends mere decoration, symbolizing shared experience and solidarity within the community. As street art, it carries the spirit of rebellion and the voice of the underrepresented, speaking volumes from the walls it adorns to the galleries it graces.

This limited edition print, with only 450 copies in existence, brings together the aesthetics of street art and the cultural influence of pop art. The artist's decision to use the hand-pulling technique, a time-honored method in screen printing, adds a layer of authenticity and craftsmanship to the work, honoring traditional practices in a modern context. The image of Winter BreeAnne is a vivid iconography, symbolizing the tireless efforts of youth activists who are not just speaking out but are leading the charge toward real change. As an element of pop and street art, this piece carries the undercurrents of rebellion and transformation. The term "Future Voter" emblazoned across BreeAnne's shirt is not merely a designation but a declaration of the coming influence of a generation ready to assert its power through civic engagement. The call to “Power to the Polls” amplifies this, pushing the narrative that every individual has a role in shaping the future. This sentiment is at the heart of pop art’s core ethos – a reflection of contemporary issues and a mirror to society’s values, hopes, and dreams. The artist behind this print is celebrated for their ability to capture the zeitgeist in their work, combining elements of propaganda, portraiture, and political messaging to create art that transcends the canvas and becomes a part of the public discourse.

The Lonesome Crowded West Apt Block Modest Mouse Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 825 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Apartment Block Urban City Building Stylized. "I’m really happy that Modest Mouse asked me to create some limited edition posters for their tour commemorating the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album The Lonesome Crowded West. I first heard Modest Mouse in 1998. I borrowed a friend’s copy of the album The Lonesome Crowded West, which had come out the year before, and it grew on me quickly to become a favorite. The whole album is great, very multi-dimensional ranging from aggressive and dissonant on songs like “Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine” to folky, jangly, and intimate on “Trailer Trash.” My two favorite songs on The Lonesome Crowded West are “Doin’ the Cockroach,” which builds steadily into an exhilarating staccato guitar frenzy, and the song that follows it, “Cowboy Dan,” which is full of tension, struggle, anger, and beauty. Lyrically, the band’s singer and primary songwriter, Isaac Brock, comes across as an empathetic world-weary sage. I rarely call someone a poet, but Isaac wrote with such depth for someone only 23 years old that I think poet is the only title that properly conveys his elevated craft as a lyricist. I got to do Modest Mouse’s 2000 Black Glass tour poster, which was a huge deal for me." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY In the pantheon of street art, few names are as synonymous with the movement's thrust into mainstream culture as Shepard Fairey. His collaboration with the band Modest Mouse for their tour poster celebrates a milestone—the 25th anniversary of their seminal album, "The Lonesome Crowded West." In true Fairey fashion, he interprets the album's ethos with a limited edition silkscreen print, meticulously hand-pulled with five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper. This process ensures each of the 825 pieces is imbued with the artist's personal touch. Measuring 18x24 inches, this signed and numbered print presents an apartment block—an urban icon that exemplifies the crowded isolation in the album's title. Fairey's stylized depiction of the apartment block resonates with the band’s exploration of the paradoxical loneliness of urban existence, embodying the spirit of Modest Mouse's music through visual art. His work is not merely an artistic rendition but a narrative of city life's juxtapositions—connectivity and isolation, sound and silence. This collaboration is particularly significant for Fairey, who has been a fan of Modest Mouse since 1998. The album left an indelible mark on him, with its tonal shifts from the raucous "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" to the more subdued "Trailer Trash." Fairey extols Isaac Brock's songwriting, acknowledging the profound depth and poetic nature of his lyrics, especially considering Brock's youth. The two tracks that stood out to Fairey, "Doin' the Cockroach" and "Cowboy Dan," exemplify the album's range and Brock's lyrical prowess. Fairey's history with Modest Mouse dates back to the 2000 "Black Glass" tour poster, reinforcing his long-standing connection with the band. This print is another chapter in that narrative, solidifying the kinship between his visual art and their musical expression. The artwork is a tangible piece of pop culture history, intertwining the legacy of Fairey's street art with Modest Mouse's contribution to music. Collectors of Fairey’s work and fans of the band alike cherish this print as a symbol of the enduring relevance of "The Lonesome Crowded West" and the power of art to transcend mediums, capturing the essence of an era.

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.

The choice of the Calavera, or skull, as a motif is not arbitrary.

Factory Stacks- Endless Power 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

Idiocracy AP Artist Proof Limited Edition 4-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey, Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’ve always felt that art, entertainment, and humor can be the best delivery vehicles for social commentary, so I love the way humor is used in “Idiocracy” to make the social critique more digestible. The movie is a harsh but necessary indictment of the anti-intellectual culture and politics that seem to become the norm more and more everyday. The film is great in a cautionary way and has an enjoyable irony being a somewhat low-brow piece of entertainment about the perils of succumbing to a cultural rejection of anything intellectual or high-brow. In other words, the genius of the film is that it may actually get through to the audience it should reach, rather than just preaching to the intellectual elite" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The "Idiocracy" AP (Artist Proof) silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a thought-provoking piece, symbolizing a potent blend of street art ingenuity with biting social commentary. Released as a limited edition in 2016, each piece in the series of 550 is hand-signed and numbered, affirming its exclusivity and value in the art community. Measuring 18x24 inches, this work is meticulously crafted through a 4-color hand-pulled silkscreen process onto fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s dedication to quality and detail. Shepard Fairey, a trailblazer in the modern pop and street art scene, often infuses his work with social and political subtext. His "Idiocracy" print draws from the satirical film of the same name, utilizing its thematic core as a springboard for his own artistic expression. The movie's critique of a society in intellectual decline resonates with Fairey's own observations of contemporary culture, where anti-intellectualism is increasingly mainstream. Fairey's print channels the film’s irony, using the medium of pop art to comment on the potential dangers of a society that devalues knowledge and critical thinking. Fairey acknowledges the power of art, humor, and entertainment as catalysts for discussion and reflection on societal norms. By embedding these elements into his "Idiocracy" print, he not only captures the essence of the film's warning but also amplifies its message through his unique artistic lens. The print, which features the movie’s signature branding "Brawndo" and the tagline "It's got electrolytes!", satirically suggests that the brain craves not intellectual stimulation but rather a fictional beverage. This piece stands as a cultural artifact within the sphere of graffiti art, encapsulating the genre's inherent confrontation with social issues. Shepard Fairey's work is often characterized by its ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional art spaces, engaging with the public in environments that are unconventional yet visually impactful. The "Idiocracy" AP print continues this trend, marrying the rebellious spirit of street art with the evocative power of cinema to challenge viewers to consider the trajectory of cultural evolution.
