    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Black Sabbath Silver Black Crescent Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Black Sabbath Silver Black Crescent Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 125 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Metal Roc n' Roll Music Band Black Sabbath Featuring Ozzy Osbourne. "Black Sabbath has been one of my favorite bands for 25 years. I was fortunate to meet Jack Osbourne through my friend Big Dave in 2000. My relationship with Jack and Big Dave has led to several great Ozzy and Sabbath projects. One of my biggest “I’m not worthy!” moments occurred when Dave took me backstage to meet the Sabbath guys in 2004 at Ozzfest, and bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler was wearing an Obey shirt! Sabbath is still a phenomenal live band, and I’m incredibly honored to do my second(the first was in 2005) Sabbath/Obey tour poster. Sabbath released a great new record called “13” recently(produced by Rick Rubin) and are touring in support of the album." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Shepard Fairey's Interpretation of Black Sabbath's Legacy In 2013, Fairey, inspired by Black Sabbath's influence on his life and art, created a limited edition silkscreen print to commemorate the band's U.S.A. tour. This signed and numbered edition, limited to 125 pieces and sized at 18x24 inches, became an emblem of Black Sabbath's enduring impact on rock music and a collectible piece of street pop art. The artwork, hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, features iconic Black Sabbath symbols, such as the cross and the winged disc, alongside Fairey's signature style, which often includes elements like the star and the stylized imagery of the eye. The fusion of street pop art with music often manifests in gig posters, a medium that Shepard Fairey, known widely for his OBEY brand, has mastered with a distinctive style that resonates deeply within the pop culture landscape. His work for the iconic metal rock n' roll music band Black Sabbath, particularly the silver and black crescent silkscreen print, encapsulates the essence of the artist's and the band's legacies. The significance of Fairey's Black Sabbath artwork lies in its ability to bridge music's auditory experience with art's visual stimulus. The print does not merely represent the band; it evokes the rebellious spirit of Black Sabbath's music, the dark and mystical themes they explore, and the cultural movement they spearheaded within the heavy metal genre. Fairey's artistic trademarks, such as the word 'obey,' infuses the piece with a sense of authority and provocation that complements the band's ethos. Collectibility and Influence in the Art World Fairey's anecdote about meeting the band and finding Geezer Butler wearing an OBEY shirt is a testament to the reciprocal influence between artist and musician. It underlines how street pop art and music often come full circle, with artists influencing musicians and vice versa. The print is a celebration of the band's return with the album "13" and a nod to the historical relationship between the artist and Black Sabbath. It is this narrative that imbues the artwork with a personal touch, making it a profound statement within the realms of both pop culture and street art. As a collectible, the Black Sabbath silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey stands at the intersection of music memorabilia and fine art. Its scarcity and the reputation of its creator heighten its value not only in monetary terms but also as a cultural artifact. Collectors and fans seek such pieces for their aesthetic appeal and their ability to capture a moment in history, a period where music and street pop art intertwine to create a tangible representation of a musical era. In the broader spectrum of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Shepard Fairey's Black Sabbath print represents the genre's potential to transcend the streets and enter into the world of high art and collector's items. The piece, with its intricate design work and deep cultural connections, stands as a testament to the power of visual art to celebrate and immortalize the spirit of music.

  • Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Idiocracy AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    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.

  • Tom Dula White AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Tom Dula White AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Tom Dula White AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print—Lonesome Tree Stylized Old Gnarled Tree in Western Desert Setting. Thomas C. Dula was a former Confederate soldier who was convicted of murdering Laura Foster, based on a song made famous by Kingston Trio. Shepard Fairey's "Tom Dula White AP" is a silkscreen print that fuses historical narrative with the artist's signature graphic style. Created in 2012, this piece is part of a limited edition set, hand-pulled with a color process on Fairey’s preferred medium, cream speckletone fine art paper. Each print in the series bears Fairey's signature and the distinctive 'AP' mark, denoting it as an Artist Proof. This status often holds higher value due to its rarity and direct connection to the artist's initial vision. Measuring 18x24 inches, the artwork presents a lone, stylized tree in a desolate Western desert setting. The barren landscape serves as a metaphorical backdrop to the somber tale of Thomas C. Dula, a former Confederate soldier whose name became immortalized in the folk song "Tom Dooley" following his controversial conviction and execution for the murder of Laura Foster. Fairey's choice to represent this narrative through a stark and solitary tree amidst an arid terrain reflects the isolation and finality of Dula's fate. This print stands out in pop and street art for its storytelling through visual symbolism. The work does not merely capture viewers' attention with its aesthetic but also invites them to engage with a deeper historical narrative, a characteristic often found in Fairey's body of work. It showcases the artist's ability to navigate the intersection of pop culture and fine art, where historical references become part of the modern visual lexicon. Shepard Fairey’s work frequently contains layers of meaning with a propensity for social commentary. With "Tom Dula White AP," the art is not only about presenting a visual narrative but also evoking an emotional response that connects the historical past with contemporary culture. This piece is a poignant example of how street art can transcend its urban origins, entering the gallery space as a powerful storytelling medium that bridges historical context and modern expression.

    Flower Vine Black Red 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 2009 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Flowers Growing on Vines in a Luxury Stylized Pattern. In the landscape of contemporary art, Shepard Fairey's influence is significant, especially when considering the intersection of pop culture and art activism. His "Flower Vine Black Red AP" silkscreen print exemplifies the fusion of aesthetic allure and cultural commentary. This Artist Proof, dated 2009, presents a vibrant juxtaposition of black floral and vine patterns against a striking red background. Hand-pulled on cream speckle tone fine art paper, each piece in this limited edition is signed and marked by Fairey, adding a dimension of exclusivity and authenticity. The artwork measures 18x24 inches, a size that allows the intricate details and the boldness of the colors to stand out, making a statement that is visually arresting. The use of just two colors in the print showcases Fairey's mastery of the silkscreen technique, where the limited palette enhances the work's graphic strength rather than diminishes its complexity. The pattern of flowers growing on vines carries a dual symbolism; it reflects growth and natural beauty while alluding to the intertwining of nature with human civilization, a theme often revisited in street and graffiti art. Fairey, widely recognized for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Barack Obama "Hope" poster, often infuses his work with socio-political undertones. "Flower Vine Black Red AP" can be viewed within this context as a piece that speaks to the luxury of aesthetics while possibly critiquing the commodification of nature in pop culture. As a leading figure in the street art movement, Fairey's work challenges viewers to reinterpret familiar visual elements in new and thought-provoking ways. This print, as with much of Fairey's work, is more than just a decorative piece; it is a commentary embedded in the medium of pop art. It stands at the crossroads of fine art and street aesthetics, making it a distinctive work in the collection of modern art enthusiasts who appreciate the blend of street art's raw energy with the finesse of a fine art silkscreen.

    Kurt Cobain- Endless Nameless 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Kurt Cobain – Endless Nameless 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 650 April 7, 2021 "I have been a fan of Nirvana since I first heard them over 30 years ago. My appreciation for lead singer Kurt Cobain’s artistry and intelligence has only increased over the decades. I had an opportunity to see Nirvana and the Melvins in the fall of 1991, but I had a college project due, so I skipped it to finish my work. At the time, it seemed like both bands would remain underground and tour the smaller clubs for the foreseeable future." -Shepard Fairey

Signed & Numbered Screen Print OBEY NOIR FLOWER WOMAN (RED) 18 inches by 24 inches Edition of 400 January 27, 2022 The Obey Noir Flower Woman print is inspired by Art Deco design and Dark Wave album art. The image has a few avenues for interpretation. I primarily see it as a tribute to idealists who protect the environment, cultivate justice, and hold optimism close to their hearts. We all face challenges and hostilities, but exterior forces don’t control our inner strength and idealism. We do! Idealism leads to action. Those who perpetrate injustice rely on apathy to get away with their misdeeds. Nurture your inner idealism, and your constructive actions will follow. – Shepard

  • Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Downward Trajectory Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Downward Trajectory Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x24 “Downward Trajectory is one of the many new works featured in my 30th-anniversary show in Los Angeles, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent and New Works,” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Green Power Factory Blue Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

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

  • Fragile Cargo AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Fragile Cargo AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Fragile Cargo AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2022 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Elephant & Woman Face With Stylized Vintage Airline Ticket Influence. "This OBEY Fragile Cargo poster is a fusion of a few inspirations. The elephant and my wife Amanda meditating relate to the Buddhist philosophy that humans are part of nature, not above it, and must live in harmony with nature. The phrase "Rise Above" references transcendence but is also one of my favorite Black Flag songs. The graphic elements also reference the aesthetics of travel tags and tickets, which present a dichotomy… travel is great for broadening cultural perspective, but it has a heavy carbon impact. Karma asks us to consider the benefits and consequences of our actions. All of my prints are printed on recycled or sustainable paper. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support their work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change." -Shepard Fairey. Delving into pop and street art, the "Fragile Cargo AP" silkscreen print by renowned artist Shepard Fairey is a testament to the dynamic confluence of art, philosophy, and environmental consciousness. Hand-pulled and crafted meticulously on fine art paper, this limited edition artist proof from 2022 manifests an intricate fusion of inspiration sources. The composition, with its arresting visuals of an elephant juxtaposed with the serene face of Fairey's wife, Amanda, draws heavily from Buddhist philosophy. The art underscores the interdependence of humanity and nature, emphasizing the belief that humans do not preside over nature but are inherently a part of it. This intricate blend of artistic expression with philosophical musings is a hallmark of Fairey's work. The term "Rise Above," embedded within the artwork, serves a dual purpose. While it signals transcendence and aligns with the broader philosophical underpinnings of the print, it is also an homage to one of Fairey's favorite songs by Black Flag, a classic American punk rock band. Simultaneously, the design elements, reminiscent of travel tags and vintage airline tickets, invoke a reflection on the complexities of modern travel. The allure of travel, which offers an enriched cultural perspective, is weighed against its environmental impact, specifically the carbon footprint associated with it. Echoing this ecological consciousness, Fairey ensures all his prints are produced on recycled or sustainably sourced paper. Beyond this, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Fragile Cargo AP" is dedicated to Greenpeace, highlighting Fairey's commitment to supporting environmental causes and combating the dire challenges of climate change. Through this artwork, Shepard Fairey weaves an intricate tapestry of visual splendor, philosophical depth, and environmental advocacy, reaffirming his position as a luminary in pop and street art.

  • The Lonesome Crowded West Tower Modest Mouse Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY The Lonesome Crowded West Tower Modest Mouse Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    The Lonesome Crowded West Tower 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 "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 Marking the 25th anniversary of Modest Mouse's influential album "The Lonesome Crowded West," celebrated street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, crafted a striking limited edition silkscreen print. This 2022 piece, meticulously hand-pulled and comprising five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, mirrors the layered complexity of the album it honors. The work measures 18x24 inches, a testament to the album's monumental impact on the alternative rock scene and Fairey's own artistic journey. Each of the 825 signed and numbered prints encapsulates Fairey's personal connection with the album, having first encountered its raw and eclectic sound in 1998, a year after its release. He describes the album as "multi-dimensional," resonating through its varied tones from the "aggressive and dissonant" to the "folky, jangly, and intimate." His favorite tracks, "Doin’ the Cockroach" and "Cowboy Dan," evoke contrasting emotions of exhilaration and introspective tension, revealing the dexterity of Modest Mouse's music and the profound lyrical skill of frontman Isaac Brock. In this piece, Fairey channels the essence of the album's themes, depicting an isolated tower amidst a vast, red-streaked landscape, symbolizing the album's exploration of urban isolation and the Western American experience. The contrast between the solitary building and the surrounding expanse eloquently captures the album's title, "The Lonesome Crowded West." This visual representation goes beyond mere album art; it is an intersection of Fairey's iconic style and Modest Mouse's sonic influence, bridging visual and auditory art forms. Fairey's engagement with Modest Mouse extends back to their 2000 "Black Glass" tour, for which he also created a poster. This long-standing relationship emphasizes the mutual respect between the artist and the band, illustrating how music and visual art can coalesce to form powerful cultural statements. His artistic expression is not only a tribute to the music but also an homage to Brock's poetic lyrics, which left an indelible impression on Fairey, prompting him to label Brock a true poet. As an influential figure in street art and pop culture, Fairey’s creation for Modest Mouse cements his position at the forefront of contemporary art. It serves as a visual anchor for the album’s legacy, ensuring that its cultural resonance extends into the visual realm. Collectors and fans of both the band and Fairey find in this print a confluence of two forms of rebellion and expression, solidified on paper but echoing far beyond.

    Just A Minor Threat Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed by Glen E Friedman x Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Depicting Punk Rock Music Band Minor Threat & Ian MacKaye Stylized Raging Concert Photo by Glen E Friedman "I first heard Minor Threat in 1985 when I had been skateboarding and listening to punk and hardcore for a year. I was quickly becoming more confident, outspoken, and energized by D.I.Y. culture, and I was voraciously hungry for things that fuelled my emotional and intellectual evolution. Minor Threat was rocket fuel for my journey. Not only is their music a ferocious explosion of energy, but their playing is tight, and Ian MacKaye’s lyrics are intelligent and provocative. On top of that, Minor Threat created their own label, Dischord Records, to put out their music as well as records by other D.C. bands. Minor Threat and Dischord are profound influences on me, so I was very excited to collaborate with Glen on a Minor Threat print to celebrate the release of his new book “Just a Minor Threat.” Glen has the most intimate and powerful photos of Minor Threat, so it was possible to craft an illustration with strong images of all the band members. I’m also incredibly grateful to have the blessing of the members of Minor Threat." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY "Minor Threat is obviously one of the great foundations of hardcore punk rock. Inspiration for legions around the world, including Shepard and myself. As we’ve done with my last several books, Shepard and I got together and collaborated to make a print celebrating the release of the new publication. Shepard is one of my designing confidants and often gives me advice during my process of bookmaking so it makes sense that once the project comes to fruition, we enthusiastically make these prints of artists that inspire both of us. This print is based on separate images of each individual in the band as well as the always omnipresent audience that were a major part of incredible Minor Threat gigs. The book came out great and is different from previous books; it has its own voice, not only through the trove of never-before-seen photographs but also through the incredible essays throughout. Be inspired." -Glen E Friedman The intersection of punk rock and visual art finds a pulsating tribute in Shepard Fairey's silkscreen print titled "Just A Minor Threat." This limited edition piece, numbered to only 550 and signed by both Fairey and celebrated photographer Glen E. Friedman, crystallizes the essence of the iconic hardcore punk band Minor Threat. Created on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper and measuring 18x24 inches, the artwork commemorates not only the band's fierce energy but also the release of Friedman's new book. Minor Threat, fronted by Ian MacKaye, left an indelible mark on the punk scene with their explosive music and D.I.Y. ethos. This band didn't just play music; they ignited a cultural movement by establishing Dischord Records, encouraging self-expression and independence within the arts community. Fairey, himself a product of the skateboarding and punk cultures of the 1980s, attributes his confidence and outspoken nature to the catalytic influence of bands like Minor Threat. His collaboration with Friedman is not just a celebration of their shared inspirations but a manifestation of the band's impact on their creative and intellectual trajectories. The artwork vividly captures the raw intensity of a Minor Threat performance, with each member and the palpable energy of the audience rendered in a style that bridges the gap between photography and stylized illustration. This visual synergy complements the narrative of Friedman's book, which not only offers an array of unseen photographs but is peppered with essays that give voice to the era and the band's pivotal role in it. Fairey's print stands as a testament to the band's legacy and as a beacon for those fueled by the spirit of rebellion and authenticity that Minor Threat so potently symbolized.

AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Sinking Titanic Style Cruise Liner Ship Sinking Cause of "Oil." Shepard Fairey's "Unsinkable Consumption AP" is a thought-provoking silkscreen print that resonates with contemporary environmental and socio-political issues. This artist proof, created in 2015, is part of a limited edition, hand-pulled with five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship in his work. At 18x24 inches, the artwork captures the viewer's attention with its stark imagery and powerful message. The print portrays a sinking ship reminiscent of the Titanic, a vessel historically synonymous with human arrogance and the disastrous consequences of overestimating human engineering over nature’s forces. In Fairey’s rendition, the liner is juxtaposed with an oil rig symbol within a red warning circle, stark against the cream background. The word "CONSUME" looms above, a bold indictment of society's relentless exploitation of natural resources. This image resonates deeply with themes of ecological disaster and unsustainable practices, encapsulating the idea that, like the "unsinkable" Titanic, our consumption habits may lead to our downfall. Fairey's work often encompasses a blend of street art's accessibility and pop art's use of recognizable imagery to engage with the audience on critical issues. The sinking ship is a metaphor for the potential catastrophe of unchecked consumption, while the oil rig emblem represents the specific threat of fossil fuels. Signed and marked as an artist-proof, this piece holds a special place in Fairey's oeuvre, signaling its status as a significant work directly from the artist's hands. As a prominent figure in pop, street, and graffiti art, Fairey has continually used his platform to advocate for political and environmental awareness.

Signed & Numbered Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 500 October 18, 2016 I’ve been a big fan of the band Franz Ferdinand since they first hit the scene in 2003. Stylistically, Franz mixes a pinch of glam rock, a nice serving of post-punk and a bit of dance-punk to create a sound that is irresistibly infectious. The band is undeniably stylish in their fashion and their album artwork which is frequently inspired by Russian Constructivism, one of my biggest inspirations as well. The lyrics of singer Alex Kapranos are witty, charming, and often insightful about human nature. Franz Ferdinand is a band of style and substance. -Shepard Fairey

Fairey's artwork is often characterized by its bold and thought-provoking imagery, combining elements of graffiti, pop art, and political activism. The Dirty South Dance Silkscreen Print is part of Fairey's OBEY series, which is derived from the "OBEY Giant" sticker campaign he started in 1989. The series aims to promote critical thinking and question societal norms, government control, and the influence of media and advertising on our lives. The Dirty South Dance print may feature Fairey's signature style, including bold colors, striking design elements, and a mix of typography and imagery. The piece may focus on the "Dirty South" music scene, which refers to a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in the southern United States, particularly in cities like Atlanta, Houston, and New Orleans. The artwork may attempt to capture the spirit of the music, its artists, and the culture surrounding it while also incorporating Fairey's sociopolitical messages. As a silkscreen print, the Dirty South Dance artwork would have been created using a stencil-based printmaking technique in which ink is pushed through a mesh screen to transfer the design onto paper or canvas. This process allows for the production of multiple copies, each considered an original print, and is a popular method for creating street art and posters. Collectors and fans of Shepard Fairey's work may be interested in acquiring the Dirty South Dance Silkscreen Print for its unique design and strong cultural commentary.

    Legislative Influence For Sale 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2011 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Democrat Propaganda Print of United States President Ronald Regan Holding Sign That Reads "Legislative Influence For Sale" like one side is innocent. "Legislative Influence For Sale" is a potent visual commentary by the renowned street artist Shepard Fairey, who rose to global recognition under the moniker OBEY. This artwork, created in 2011, is a limited edition, hand-pulled silkscreen print on fine art paper, and its rarity is underscored by its exclusivity: only 450 signed and numbered copies exist. Measuring 18x24 inches, this piece is not just art; it's a socio-political statement that challenges viewers to confront the intricacies of power, politics, and influence. Fairey's choice of imagery is both bold and thought-provoking. He presents a depiction of the 40th United States President, Ronald Reagan, holding a sign that proclaims, "Legislative Influence For Sale." The audacious portrayal hints at the complex interplay of political agendas, financial influences, and lobbying, suggesting that even the highest office might not be immune to corruption or undue influence. Furthermore, the artist's clever juxtaposition of implying that one side might be innocent plays with the ambiguity of political righteousness, forcing a reflection upon the nuances of political morality. In the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti, artists often hold a mirror to society, urging introspection, critique, and, at times, activism. Shepard Fairey's piece stands tall within this tradition. His deliberate use of the silkscreen medium, historically associated with both fine art (think Andy Warhol) and protest (recalling posters and flyers), emphasizes the blend of aesthetic beauty and powerful messaging. Through "Legislative Influence For Sale," Fairey not only cements his place in the pantheon of street art legends but also reignites essential conversations about democracy, integrity, and the potential pitfalls of unchecked power.

My philosophy is actually “question everything”. Conformity is often more unconscious than conscious… an adaptation to structures we may not agree with and a submission to unseen forces of manipulation… unseen because our eyes and minds are not open wide enough. People come up with conspiracy theories like “the Illuminati” to explain the feelings that they are cogs in someone else’s machine, but the deconstruction of power and control requires nothing more than a conscious and diligent examination of how power and influence upon the government accumulate and concentrate under capitalism.

"The Obey Noir Flower Woman print is inspired by Art Deco design and Dark Wave album art. The image has a few avenues for interpretation. I primarily see it as a tribute to idealists who protect the environment, cultivate justice, and hold optimism close to their hearts. We all face challenges and hostilities, but exterior forces don't control our inner strength and idealism. We do! Idealism leads to action.

Shepard Fairey draws inspiration from those idealists who remain committed to environmental protection, champion justice, and foster a deep-seated optimism, even in the face of adversity.

    Danger No Smoking AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print—vintage Style Lead Fual Gas Pump with Danger No Smoking Sign. "This Danger No Smoking print is inspired by a screen print I made in 1990, which was the very first image I made addressing the environmental and health hazards of gasoline. I took this photograph in Providence, RI at the edge of a desolate graveyard, which probably intensified my interpretation of the peeling paint on the gas pump as a skull. I decided the symbolism provided by natural erosion was powerful enough to make the photo worthy of turning into a print. I always liked this image, and I rediscovered it while looking for images to include in a book surveying my entire history of environmentally themed art." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Danger No Smoking AP" is an arresting silkscreen print that fuses the gritty aesthetic of street art with the polished finesse of fine art printmaking. Hand-pulled and consisting of five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, this artwork is part of a limited edition series that showcases Fairey's unique ability to embed powerful social commentary within his art. As an artist proof from 2016, this piece is both signed and marked AP, denoting its status as a work that precedes the official production run and is often kept by the artist for personal archives or sale. This print presents a vintage-style lead fuel gas pump decorated with a "Danger No Smoking" sign—a visual that evokes the retro Americana while simultaneously commenting on contemporary environmental and health concerns. By featuring the warning signs that often accompany hazardous substances, Fairey points to the broader issues of industrial risks and public safety. This theme resonates with the essence of pop art, where mundane commercial imagery is repurposed to make a statement, and it aligns with the spirit of street and graffiti art's focus on message-driven visuals. The artwork's size, 18x24 inches, is significant as it allows the viewer to fully engage with the detailed work, including the intricate patterns that add a layer of complexity to the straightforward cautionary symbols. Fairey's work is recognized for its commanding presence, often utilizing bold lines and stark contrasts to draw attention to the subjects he depicts. In this print, the stark warning signage contrasts with the ornamental background, creating a juxtaposition that is visually stimulating and thought-provoking. Fairey’s “Danger No Smoking AP” print is a testament to his commitment to social engagement through art. It holds a mirror to society's paradoxes, reflecting the often overlooked dangers lurking behind the glossy veneer of consumerist culture. This print, rich in symbolism and executed with the artist's signature style, is a powerful addition to the discourse on pop culture, environmentalism, and the transformative power of street art.

    Cream & Blue 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. Cream & Blue Sedation in Bloom: Reflecting on Society Through Street Pop Art The Cream & Blue Sedation in Bloom silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, an iconic figure in the street pop art and graffiti artwork realm, stands as a thought-provoking piece that goes beyond mere aesthetic pleasure. Fairey, born as Frank Shepard Fairey on February 15, 1970, in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, has carved a niche for himself with works that often reflect a blend of political activism and artistry. This particular artwork, a part of the Sedation in Bloom series, is no exception. Hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, the Cream & Blue Sedation in Bloom is a limited edition artwork, with each piece signed and numbered by Fairey himself. The size of the artwork, 18x24 inches, offers a substantial canvas for the expression of intricate and symbolic imagery. Limited to an edition of 150, these prints capture the exclusive nature of Fairey's work. The Symbolism of Poppies in Fairey's Visual Language The motif of the poppy in this series carries rich symbolic interpretations, ranging from peace to death, and from sleep to sedation. Fairey's choice of the poppy is deliberate and multifaceted; it is not only about creating a pleasing visual but also about the underlying message it conveys. The interplay of the serene blue on cream reflects a tranquil aesthetic, yet the poppies' association with sedation challenges the viewer to look deeper into the societal implications of the artwork. Fairey’s work is a commentary on the complacency and ignorance that he perceives as pervasive in society. The seductive nature of entertainment, alcohol, drugs, and material excess serves as a means to sedate the masses, distracting them from social and political engagement. Through the Cream & Blue Sedation in Bloom print, Fairey juxtaposes the allure of the poppies with a call to consciousness, urging the viewer to stay awake and aware amid societal distractions. Artistic Collaboration and Social Commentary The inception of this poppy pattern art arose from Fairey's collaboration with Gordon Cheung, where the duo addressed the harrowing murder of Vincent Chin and the use of anti-Asian motifs in Western culture. By incorporating these themes into his street pop art, Fairey elevates the conversation from street-level discourse to a wider socio-political dialogue. The prints serve as a decorative escape, yet they double as a potent reminder of the importance of staying alert to the world's inequities and injustices. Shepard Fairey's Cream & Blue Sedation in Bloom is a striking example of how street pop art can be a powerful medium for social critique. As viewers engage with the harmonious color scheme and the delicate floral patterns, they are also confronted with the societal urge to remain vigilant. Through this series, Fairey reiterates his belief in the capacity of art to ignite change, to unsettle the comfortable, and to provoke a reawakening of social consciousness. The artwork symbolizes the dual role of art in modern culture: as an object of beauty and as a catalyst for awareness and action.

Shepard Fairey- OBEY> Pop Artist Graffiti Street Artworks

The Impactful Journey of Shepard Fairey and the OBEY Movement

Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the OBEY phenomenon, is a monumental figure in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Bursting onto the scene with his "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign in the late 1980s, Fairey's work has since evolved into a globally recognized brand, symbolizing a fusion of art, activism, and branding that has come to define modern street art. His work is characterized by bold, often provocative imagery that encourages viewers to question the mechanics of power structures and the role of media and propaganda in contemporary society. Fairey's approach to art is deeply rooted in the do-it-yourself ethos of punk rock and skateboarding cultures, which inform the anti-establishment themes prevalent in his work. His pieces often juxtapose symbols of authority with countercultural messages, creating a robust visual dialogue that challenges observers to reconsider their surroundings. Fairey's ability to disseminate his work widely, from urban walls to galleries to commercial products, has made his art accessible to a broad audience and helped elevate street art to mainstream recognition.

Shepard Fairey's Artistic Evolution and Signature Style

Over the years, Fairey's work has transcended its underground beginnings to command a significant presence in the art world. His iconic "Hope" poster, created during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, is perhaps one of the most recognized works of contemporary street art, epitomizing the potential for this medium to impact public discourse. Fairey's style—a combination of stenciling, collage, and painting—exemplifies his unique ability to blend fine art techniques with the grit and immediacy of street art. The signature style of Fairey's pieces, marked by a limited but striking color palette and recurring motifs such as the star, the sunburst, and the OBEY logo, is instantly recognizable and speaks to the artist's concerns with branding and the commodification of art and culture. By adopting mass communication and production methods, Fairey's work comments on and utilizes the very mechanisms it often critiques.

Shepard Fairey's Contributions to Street Pop Art and Cultural Discourse

As an artist, Shepard Fairey has played a crucial role in advancing street pop art. His work has been instrumental in the dialogue about the legitimacy of street art and its place in cultural history. Fairey's art is not content to exist for aesthetic appreciation; it seeks to engage, provoke, and inspire action, reflecting his deeply held belief in art as a catalyst for social and political change. Moreover, Fairey's collaborations with other artists and forays into different mediums—from murals to music album covers to fashion—reflect the interdisciplinary nature of street art. His work with Niagara on 'Tomorrow's Another Night' and other collaborations highlight his commitment to creative partnerships that push the boundaries of traditional art forms and expand the reach of street-inspired aesthetics. Shepard Fairey is a pillar of the street pop art movement. His OBEY campaign has grown from a grassroots sticker initiative into a multifaceted project that encompasses art, design, activism, and apparel, illustrating the expansive potential of street art. Through his diverse body of work, Fairey continues to challenge perceptions, encourage public engagement, and leave an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. His legacy includes his iconic visual contributions and his commitment to the power of art as a tool for empowerment and change.
