District Line. "Bob Mould was the guitar player and co-songwriter of Husker Du, one of the most progressive hardcore/indy bands of the '80s. Originally one of the most successful bands on SST records, they were among the first American indie bands to sign to a major label. They are credited with paving the way for bands like Sonic Youth, The Pixies, and Nirvana. I borrowed Husker Du's Zen Arcade album from a friend in my 10th-grade year and quickly collected the rest of their catalog. I especially recommend their album Flip Your Wig. After Husker Du broke up, Bob formed Sugar and now performs solo. His new album District Line is awesome." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's Tribute to Bob Mould: Merging Music and Street Art The Bob Mould AP Signed Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey, a figure synonymous with OBEY and a towering presence in street pop art, is a limited edition artwork that pays homage to Bob Mould's profound influence on the music scene.

Hello My Name Is AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2019 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Andre the Giant Hello My Name is Name Tag & Graffiti Shepard Fairey Hello My Name Is AP Silkscreen Print Hello My Name Is AP by Shepard Fairey revisits one of the most recognizable images in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, centered on the face of André the Giant framed within the iconic name tag format. This 2019 artist proof silkscreen print maintains the raw visual authority that launched Fairey’s early street campaign while incorporating layered collage textures, red spray gestures, and distressed graphic elements. The composition integrates the familiar black and cream portrait with surrounding fragments of newsprint, stencil marks, and urban decay references, reinforcing its origin in unsanctioned public space. Printed on cream speckletone fine art paper, the tactile surface echoes the material quality of wheat-pasted posters while elevating the piece into a formal limited edition format. André the Giant and the Origins of OBEY The image of André the Giant became the foundation of Shepard Fairey’s early street intervention campaign that evolved into the OBEY project. André René Roussimoff was born in 1946 in France and died in 1993. Fairey adapted a simplified photographic rendering of the professional wrestler’s face into a stark graphic emblem that spread across cities through stickers, posters, and graffiti placements. The Hello My Name Is format transformed the portrait into a participatory street device, encouraging repetition and public recognition without explicit explanation. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this strategy emphasized viral distribution, anonymity, and the power of repetition as artistic method. The campaign eventually expanded into a broader commentary on authority, propaganda aesthetics, and mass communication. Graphic Strategy and Cultural Impact This artist proof retains the confrontational simplicity that defines the original André imagery while embedding it in a more complex visual environment. The red spray marks cut across the surface, evoking urgency and disruption. Collaged newspaper textures reference media saturation and the construction of public narratives. The name tag device, traditionally used for casual introductions, becomes ironic when paired with a monumental and anonymous face, challenging viewers to question recognition, identity, and obedience. As a work of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Hello My Name Is AP demonstrates how graphic reduction and strategic placement can generate long-term cultural resonance far beyond traditional gallery contexts. Artist Proof Significance and Print Quality This 18x24 hand-pulled silkscreen print is marked AP, identifying it as an artist proof separate from the standard numbered edition. Artist proofs are typically retained by the artist and produced in smaller quantities, increasing their desirability among collectors. The layered screen printing process produces rich blacks, saturated reds, and subtle surface variation consistent with Fairey’s studio practice. As a signed and marked AP example, this work represents both a historical reference to the origins of the OBEY campaign and a refined collectible within the broader evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 24x18 Silkscreen Print of CHild Spray Painting Back of Bus With Graffiti "I teamed up with my good friend and documentary photographer, Martha Cooper, on a new print release called “People’s Discontent.” Martha Cooper has been photographing creative kids in action on city streets since the mid-1970s. I remixed one of Martha’s iconic photos from her book, Street Play, titled “Hitchhiking a Bus on Houston Street” that she shot in 1978 in the Lower East Side of New York City. There was no advertisement on the back of the bus in her original photo, and since disco was the rage in the late ’70s, I thought it made sense for me to add a disco radio station with the slogan, “Listen To The Sounds of People’s Disco.” I added the “DISCO-ntent” and the spraypaint can in the kid’s hand as if he sprayed that on there. It’s a nod to that era but also to what’s going on now with the unrest around social justice issues. This limited edition print was first released through Urban Nation Museum in Berlin as part of their current show “Martha Cooper: Taking Pictures” curated by Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art." -Shepard Fairey People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print is a powerful example of the intersection between pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Shepard Fairey, better known by his moniker 'OBEY,' collaborated with renowned documentary photographer Martha Cooper to create this piece, drawing inspiration from the vibrant street culture that emerged in New York City in the 1970s. This print showcases Fairey's creative remix of an iconic photo by Cooper, titled “Hitchhiking a Bus on Houston Street.” The print is an intricate hand-pulled silkscreen creation on cream Speckletone Fine Art paper. Fairey added his own touch to the original photograph by inserting a disco radio station advertisement and a spray paint can in the child's hand, evoking the rebellious spirit of graffiti art. The juxtaposition of the disco radio station and the defiant "DISCO-ntent" slogan signify the sociopolitical unrest of the period, with a particular nod to the burgeoning disco movement. Fairey, while staying true to his street art roots, successfully adds a layer of pop art through the use of vibrant, mass-culture imagery, capturing a transformative period in urban history. By contextualizing this piece within the larger narrative of social justice issues, Fairey's artwork exemplifies the power of pop and street art to comment on, challenge, and shape societal norms. This limited edition print of 550 is a part of Urban Nation Museum's exhibition “Martha Cooper: Taking Pictures," curated by Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art. People’s Discontent Silkscreen Print represents a fusion of artistic styles, functioning as both a snapshot of a moment in time and a commentary on social issues, making it a unique and coveted piece among collectors and enthusiasts.

Birds in the Realm of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Birds, as motifs, carry a universal appeal and symbolic significance that resonate across cultures, making them a prevalent subject in Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. They are often used to symbolize freedom, transcendence, and peace, concepts that align with the liberating nature of street art. The depiction of birds in this genre can range from realistic murals celebrating biodiversity to stylized icons serving as metaphors for social and political ideals. The flexibility of avian imagery allows street and pop artists to traverse themes from the ecological to the fantastical. In urban environments, where concrete often overshadows greenery, the portrayal of birds can be a poignant reminder of the natural world that persists amidst the cityscape. They can contrast the urban setting or as a harmonious element, embodying the tension and balance between the natural and the artificial. Symbolism and Technique in Avian Art When birds are depicted in street and pop art, their representation can carry multiple layers of meaning. For example, an image of a dove may be a straightforward symbol of peace or recontextualized to comment on war and urban strife issues. The artistic techniques employed to depict birds can also vary widely, from elaborate, photorealistic renderings that celebrate the beauty of these creatures to abstract, geometric interpretations that distill their forms into essential shapes and colors. The diversity of bird species also offers a rich palette for artists to draw from, with the colors and patterns of different birds providing endless inspiration for visual experimentation. In Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, the representation of birds can be both a celebration of nature's diversity and an artistic challenge, pushing artists to capture the essence of these creatures in innovative ways. The Cultural Impact of Avian-Themed Art Artwork featuring birds has the potential to make a significant cultural impact, particularly in the context of environmental awareness and conservation efforts. Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork that showcases birds can bring attention to the plight of endangered species or the importance of urban green spaces. Additionally, such artwork can contribute to urban dwellers' aesthetic and psychological well-being, offering moments of beauty and reflection amid the urban hustle. The universal recognition of bird imagery also means that avian-themed art has a broad appeal and can transcend language and cultural barriers. This makes birds an ideal subject for public art intended to engage diverse audiences and foster a sense of community and shared appreciation for nature. Birds are a dynamic and multifaceted subject within Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, serving as symbols of freedom, agents of beauty, and reminders of the natural world. Their representation in art can range from literal to symbolic, realistic to abstract, each interpretation offering a different facet of meaning and aesthetic value. The works depicted in the image you've provided likely encompass a broad spectrum of these artistic approaches, reflecting the rich potential of avian imagery to inspire and provoke thought across the vibrant canvas of street and pop art.

Above, a red globe sits within radiating circular forms, while skeletal figures and graphic emblems occupy the lower corners, reinforcing themes of struggle and urgency. The limited red, black, and cream palette recalls vintage propaganda posters, a visual language Fairey frequently references in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Hand-Pulled Craftsmanship and Cultural Significance Produced as a 2-color silkscreen, the print demonstrates precise registration and bold contrast, hallmarks of Fairey’s studio editions.

Icarus Democracy 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x36 "Liberty and equality are principles most people value, but the challenge is to find the proper equilibrium between the two. Democracy is the mechanism our nation has used to balance the freedom and desires of the individual with policies that are fair and beneficial for the collective of society. Democracy requires dedicated maintenance. With the culture of the previous administration and many politicians undermining democracy itself, the folly of over-confidence about the guaranteed endurance of democracy will lead to potential disaster. The threat of fascism is very real. If you value democracy use your voice and your vote. I’d recommend reading Timothy Snyders “On Tyranny” to anyone who does not see the threats to democracy (and the principles it protects) as concerning. This print, “Icarus Democracy,” will also be available in person at Dallas Contemporary." -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey Icarus Democracy 2022 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born in the United States in 1970, remains one of the most influential figures in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through his OBEY campaign and politically charged print editions. Icarus Democracy, released in 2022, is a 3-color hand-pulled silkscreen print on cream Speckle Tone paper measuring 24 x 36 inches. This signed and numbered limited edition of 500 reflects Fairey’s continued engagement with civic themes, democratic responsibility, and the fragile balance between liberty and equality. Produced in the bold graphic style that defines his practice, the work merges classical symbolism with contemporary political commentary. Classical Myth and Democratic Symbolism in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The composition features a stylized Icarus figure gliding downward over ocean waves, framed by dramatic black radiating lines and a red sun bearing the words Liberty Democracy Equality. At the bottom, the phrase A Flight of Fancy in the Absence of Vigilance underscores the central warning embedded in the imagery. By referencing the myth of Icarus—whose overconfidence led to his fall—Fairey draws a parallel to the dangers of complacency within democratic systems. The restrained palette of red, black, and cool blue enhances the poster-like clarity, a hallmark of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that uses bold contrast and simplified forms to deliver urgent, accessible messages. Limited Edition Craftsmanship and Contemporary Political Relevance Hand-pulled in three colors, the print demonstrates the precision layering and tonal control that characterize Fairey’s silkscreen editions. The cream Speckle Tone paper provides a subtle texture that reinforces the vintage propaganda aesthetic he frequently references. As a signed and numbered edition of 500, Icarus Democracy stands as both a collectible fine art print and a civic statement, urging viewers to remain vigilant in protecting democratic values. Through mythological metaphor and striking graphic design, Shepard Fairey continues to define how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can function as both cultural artifact and call to action.

Psychedelic Andre- ‘92 Obey Giant Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Shepard Fairey X John Van Hamersveld pop culture LSD artwork. "I first made this image in 1967, and then the poster came out in 1968. One day I sat down and started this drawing out of my style. I had been an art director at Capitol Records, and I hadn't been drawing very much. It was a whole new state I was in. But it was an opportunity to test my drawing and put it into a poster and have it published. It all came out great. It was a fantastic show. There were ads everywhere and people loved the poster. It just started to become a piece of history right away, much like The Endless Summer poster." - John Van Hamersveld "I became a fan of Hendrix after I exited my punk rock orthodoxy phase. I ended up gravitating towards John's image because it had that nod to psychedelia, without going so overboard in the baroque detail, that it remained iconic. This Hendrix image itself — along with a few other influences, like Barbara Kruger and Russian Constructivism — was a huge influence in how I was going to make work that had the ability to cut through the clutter of what's on the street and still have a recognizable style. When I was just making variations of the Andre on the different backgrounds, I was looking at a lot of psychedelic work, but John's piece really inspired me to make something that was a deviation from just playing it safe with the original Andre image. So John's Pinnacle Hendrix was sort of a gateway to the evolution of my entire Andre The Giant project. I can't really understate the importance of this image for me." - Shepard Fairey

Sedation of Millions 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 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Number 3 in A Gun Target Retnial With Phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." "The "Sedation Of Millions" print is inspired by the title of my favorite Public Enemy album, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back." I think the biggest problem in America is the indifference and complacency about important issues that result from much of the population being perpetually hypnotized by conspicuous consumption, social media, entertainment, and self-medication. Using sedation and escapism for relief from the rat race might make us less aware(blissfully ignorant) but also less empowered to improve our role within the rat race… a vicious cycle of cause and effect." -Shepard Fairey The "Millions AP" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey stands as a profound commentary on contemporary society through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As an Artist Proof from 2012, signed and marked by Fairey himself, this limited edition piece presents a powerful visual fused with a direct message characteristic of Fairey's thought-provoking style. Sized at 18x24, the print features the image of a gun target retinal, the number 3 prominently placed at its center, overlaid with the bold phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." This artwork resonates with Fairey's ongoing exploration of control, power, and propaganda. The title and the thematic content pay homage to Public Enemy's album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back," channeling the spirit of resistance and the power of voice emblematic of the influential hip-hop group. Fairey's work challenges the viewer to consider the societal implications of complacency and the sedative effects of consumer culture, social media, and entertainment that contribute to a collective indifference toward critical issues. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, consistently blurs the lines between fine art and street art, bringing forth discussions that encapsulate the ethos of both genres. The "Millions AP" silkscreen print serves not just as a piece of art but as a call to consciousness, urging a break from the "blissful ignorance" induced by escapism and advocating for empowerment through awareness and action. This work is a visual manifestation of Fairey's critique on the cyclical nature of societal sedation and the importance of awakening from it to enact change within the systems that govern daily life. In the broader scope of street pop art and graffiti, Fairey's "Millions AP" print encapsulates the essence of the medium's capacity to reflect and impact cultural dialogue. It is a testament to the potential of visual art as a medium for social commentary and a marker of the time in which it was created.

Green Power Factory Red 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 Red 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.

AP Artist Proof 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I grew up at a time when women’s rights were on the rise and it was accepted that the ERA was destined to pass. With 38 states having ratified the ERA, it is time for our leaders to step-up and enact the will of the people by ensuring that the ERA is adopted. It is overdue that gender equality becomes the law of the land. This project resonated with me because the fight for gender equality has always been rooted in social-justice activism and there is still work to be done." -Shepard Fairey The Future Is Equal AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey The Future Is Equal AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey is a powerful visual statement in the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Created in 2022 as a hand-pulled silkscreen on cream Speckletone fine art paper, this 18x24-inch artist proof edition is signed and marked AP by Fairey.

The female figure at the center wears a red and black cap adorned with the symbol for feminism, her confident gaze set against a backdrop of legal and activist iconography. Her jacket bears the words ERA NOW, a clear call for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. A public notice referencing the 1972 general election is also printed below, reinforcing the legal and historical dimension of the piece. Visual Symbolism and Stylistic Elements Fairey's visual language is rooted in propaganda poster design, and this work uses bold red, black, and blue tones to evoke urgency and clarity. The composition is organized like a page from a revolutionary newspaper, echoing historical civil rights publications. To the left, a figure representing Lady Justice appears, reinforcing the balance of law and equity. A banner at the top announces The Future Is Equal, styled like a newspaper headline, referencing The Daily Times and proclaiming the approval of the Equal Rights Amendment. In the lower right corner, demonstrators raise fists and signs, with slogans such as Power Women Free, tying the artwork directly to protest culture and ongoing feminist movements. These combined motifs reflect Shepard Fairey’s continued commitment to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that is both accessible and subversive. Social Justice Activism in Contemporary Art Shepard Fairey, born in the United States in 1970, has long used his work to highlight themes of justice, power, and equality. As a pop culture artist with roots in the street art movement, he brings social commentary into spaces both sanctioned and unsanctioned, often using silkscreen as a medium for its reproducibility and historical weight. This print connects directly with Fairey’s ongoing efforts to leverage visual art for political advocacy, including previous works supporting climate change awareness, anti-war efforts, and racial justice. The Future Is Equal AP stands as part of this lineage, using the visual tools of street propaganda to demand legislative change and public awareness of gender rights issues. Political Printmaking in the Street Pop Tradition This artwork reflects a broader tradition in graffiti and street pop movements of using printmaking and public imagery to amplify voices calling for systemic change. Fairey’s AP edition adds rarity and collector significance, while still embodying the core ethos of accessibility and activism. The image challenges viewers to recognize unfinished work around gender equity, invoking both the legacy of earlier activists and the responsibility of contemporary generations. The combination of scale, texture, and visual urgency captures the essence of what Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can accomplish when fused with purpose and historical consciousness.

Stealth Bomber Qee Black 8 in Sub Version One Vinyl Art Toy by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Toy2RLimited Edition Collectible Sculpture Figure Fine Artwork by Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2003 Limited Edition Artwork Size 6x8 Printed on Foot Vinyl Fine Art Toy Figure Sculpture. Displayed with Box. Shepard Fairey OBEY Stealth Bomber Qee Vinyl Art Toy The 2003 Stealth Bomber Qee by Shepard Fairey stands as a highly significant collectible in the evolution of designer vinyl art and graffiti-infused pop culture. Produced in collaboration with the influential Hong Kong-based toy label Toy2R, this Sub-Version One 8-inch vinyl figure is a limited-edition art toy that reflects the convergence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork with collectible design objects. The figure encapsulates Fairey's early 2000s aesthetic, where propaganda-style design met global street activism and urban visual language. Its minimalist color scheme of black and gray, along with bold red OBEY branding, makes it an unmistakable icon of Fairey's visual signature. With a sleek vinyl construction and the instantly recognizable stylized Andre the Giant–inspired face on its chest and packaging, the figure is both an artwork and a political statement. Design Collaboration and Toy2R Legacy Toy2R’s Qee platform has served as a canvas for many of the world’s top graffiti and pop artists, but the inclusion of Shepard Fairey brought a different cultural weight to the toy scene. The Stealth Bomber Qee is not just a toy; it’s a form of urban sculpture born out of an era when collectible vinyl became a new art format. The collaboration with Toy2R allowed Fairey to extend the influence of his street campaign beyond posters, walls, and wheatpastes into a durable three-dimensional object. Each piece from this edition features Fairey’s hallmark star logo on the back, a powerful graphic that has served as a recurring motif in his political and artistic work. It’s not merely decoration—it is a visual extension of the artist’s commentary on power, control, and social obedience. Street Pop Art Object and Collectible Sculpture This collectible stands 8 inches tall and comes boxed in original packaging branded with OBEY insignia and signature Fairey graphics. It functions both as a toy and as a sculptural artwork, representative of the hybrid culture that Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork has fostered. Each figure is printed with identifiers on the foot that clearly denote its place within the early designer toy movement: the bold OBEY logo, 2003 production stamp, and the Toy2R licensing mark. Its limited-edition nature and affiliation with a globally renowned artist have turned this piece into a rare artifact from a formative time in both the street art world and vinyl art toy production. Shepard Fairey’s Cultural Influence Shepard Fairey, born in the United States in 1970, is among the most impactful artists to emerge from street art into mainstream cultural critique. His work with the OBEY brand and the now-famous HOPE poster during the 2008 U.S. presidential election made him a household name, but it is his deep foundation in punk rock aesthetics, skate culture, and graffiti that truly shaped his style. The Stealth Bomber Qee is part of that lineage—an object that retains the DIY spirit and visual urgency of the street while being refined for display and collection. It remains one of the earliest examples of how street culture began to command the art world’s attention through limited-edition sculpture, merging accessibility and exclusivity in a single object.

The computer is a great tool, but it can be too safe and sterile… Don’t be afraid to cut things up, make mistakes, and get some overspray on pristine paper!" -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey Cut It Up – Do It Yourself Blue Variant Silkscreen Cut It Up – Do It Yourself (Blue Variant) is a 2019 signed and numbered limited edition silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, created in collaboration with Beyond The Streets. Hand-pulled in three colors on cream Speckle Tone paper, this 18 x 24 inch print was released in an edition of 500 and sold exclusively in-store on August 9, 2019. Featuring Fairey’s iconic OBEY face reimagined through collage aesthetics, the piece reflects the artist’s deep roots in DIY street art culture. OBEY Icon and the X-Acto Legacy The composition divides the OBEY face into four quadrants, each featuring stylized hands gripping bold X-Acto knives in red and black. The fragmented layout references cut-and-paste techniques that defined Fairey’s early process—physically slicing Rubylith, assembling photocopies, and building imagery long before digital tools dominated design. The blue-toned background softens the contrast while emphasizing the raw, graphic shapes. As Fairey explains, the work is a tribute to experimentation: embracing mistakes, overspray, and the tactile energy of handmade creation. Beyond The Streets Edition and Cultural Significance Released as part of the Beyond The Streets exhibition, this blue variant stands as a collectible moment within Shepard Fairey’s broader OBEY print catalog. The cream Speckle Tone paper enhances the vintage poster aesthetic, while the clean three-color screenprint preserves the sharp, graphic impact. Limited to 500 signed examples, Cut It Up – Do It Yourself captures the ethos of independent street art production—hands-on, imperfect, and unapologetically bold.

When I started putting art up on the streets of NY in the early 90s, WK had some of the best murals around lower Manhattan. We’ve collaborated a few times over the years, and when I was in NYC in December, WK shot some portraits of me as part of an artist homage series. Usually, I’m uncomfortable being the subject of art pieces, but I love what he did with the final art because it merges our aesthetics very harmoniously… and my face is less of the focus!" -Shepard Fairey "In 2009, I was invited by Shepard Fairey to have a solo show at the Subliminal Project Gallery in Los Angeles. 14 years later, I have the pleasure of visiting Subliminal Projects once again… to sign a new limited edition print, on which we collaborated. I met Shepard long ago… I’ve joined him on many adventures around the world, from Berlin, Japan, NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, to Paris. Early on, I realized as we were hitting the streets with paste ups, that we shared something in common and that was the constant desire to work. Shepard was the first person to contact me and extend an invitation to participate in the game. I admire how sharp he is… he forgets nothing. I’m grateful that he let me paint his portrait, but I’m mostly honored to call him my friend." –WK Interact WK Interact x Shepard Fairey WK / Shepard Portrait Limited Edition Silkscreen WK / Shepard Portrait is a 2023 hand-pulled silkscreen collaboration between WK Interact and Shepard Fairey (OBEY). Printed on French Speckletone True White fine art paper, this large-format 36 x 24 inch edition is limited to 450 signed and numbered prints. The release celebrates decades of friendship, collaboration, and shared street art history between two of the most influential figures in contemporary urban art. Two Street Art Aesthetics in One Unified Composition The artwork merges WK Interact’s raw, high-contrast urban realism with Shepard Fairey’s bold graphic iconography. A fragmented portrait of Fairey dominates the right side, layered with drips, textures, and gritty stencil effects, while OBEY’s star motif and striking red geometric elements anchor the left side. Black ink splatters, typographic fragments, and distressed overlays create a kinetic tension that reflects both artists’ roots in street paste-ups and mural culture. The composition feels spontaneous yet deliberate, blending portraiture with graphic propaganda language. Signed Collaborative Edition with Street Art Provenance Hand-pulled on premium French Speckletone True White paper, the print retains the tactile depth and rich contrast associated with traditional screen printing. Limited to 450 signed and numbered examples, this 2023 edition stands as a meaningful tribute to the artists’ long-standing creative relationship. WK / Shepard Portrait captures not just an image, but a shared history of global street interventions, exhibitions, and collaborations that helped shape modern pop and urban art culture.

This Machine Kills Fascists AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2006 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Young Denny Laine From Rock Bands Moody Blues & Wings Leaning On Guitar. This Machine Kills Fascists AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey This Machine Kills Fascists is a 2006 Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, released under his OBEY moniker. Hand-pulled on Speckletone fine art paper, this 18 x 24 inch work comes from the original run and is signed and marked AP by the artist. The image depicts a young Denny Laine, legendary guitarist and songwriter associated with the Moody Blues and Wings, leaning on his guitar in a striking, symmetrical composition rooted in Fairey’s early graphic language. Music as Resistance and Political Symbolism The phrase “This Machine Kills Fascists” famously appeared on Woody Guthrie’s guitar and has long symbolized music as a weapon against authoritarianism, oppression, and cultural decay. By pairing this statement with Denny Laine’s image, Fairey bridges generations of musical dissent, connecting folk protest traditions to British rock’s role in cultural upheaval. The guitar becomes both instrument and emblem, reinforcing the idea that creativity, truth, and expression are tools of resistance. Radiating lines and ornamental borders amplify the icon-like presentation, elevating the musician into a symbol rather than a portrait. Shepard Fairey’s Early Iconography and Cultural Legacy Sourced from a 1967 photograph by Peter Webb, the image reflects Fairey’s early fascination with remixing historical imagery into bold, politically charged compositions. This print sits firmly within the formative years of the OBEY project, where propaganda aesthetics, music history, and anti-fascist messaging converged. As an Artist Proof, this edition carries additional weight for collectors, representing Fairey’s personal archive from a pivotal era in his career. This Machine Kills Fascists remains a powerful example of how street art can honor cultural figures while delivering enduring social commentary through graphic precision and symbolic force.

Tomorrow's Another Night Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Paper by Modern Artist Niagara x Shepard Fairey x Niagara. 2021 Signed & Numbered Red Limited Edition of 150 3-Color Screen Print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Size: 18 x 24 Inches Release: July 02, 2021. "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights.'" – Shepard Fairey-.OBEY Shepard Fairey's Collaboration with Niagara: 'Tomorrow's Another Night' 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a testament to the dynamic collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara, two pivotal figures in modern street pop art and graffiti artwork. This limited edition silkscreen print, hand-pulled on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum paper, showcases Fairey's masterful screen printing technique alongside Niagara's provocative artistic vision. Released on July 2, 2021, each print in the series is meticulously signed and numbered, indicating the exclusive nature of this artwork. The 18 x 24 inches dimensions make it ideal for collectors who appreciate the nuanced intersection of pop culture and fine art. The artwork features iconic imagery that reflects the rebellious spirit of the punk rock movement, imbued with a sense of in-your-face aggression and subtle manipulation. Ron's direct gaze and clenched fist are juxtaposed with Niagara's calculated and serene posture, a duality that Fairey emphasizes with the strategic placement of a switchblade. This element augments Niagara's allure nod to Fairey's original concept of the duo as a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, suggesting a narrative of power and seduction that belies their outward appearance. Exploring the Visual Narrative and Artistic Merit of 'Tomorrow's Another Night' Shepard Fairey's decision to work with Niagara on 'Tomorrow's Another Night births a rich visual narrative of contrast and complexity. The stark black-and-white imagery is accented by the thoughtful use of three colors, which adds depth and draws the viewer into the story unfolding within the print. The art piece resonates with the energy of the street, where graffiti art traditionally challenges societal norms and provokes thought through visual storytelling. The screen print is a visual exploration of the dichotomy between appearance and reality, power dynamics, and the role of women as unseen orchestrators in a male-dominated society. Fairey's description of Niagara as someone who appears demure yet is 'pulling the strings' is a powerful commentary on the multifaceted nature of female strength and agency. Thus, the artwork becomes a platform for aesthetic appreciation and engagement with broader themes of gender and control. The Cultural Impact of Fairey and Niagara's Artistic Fusion 'Tomorrow's Another Night' represents a cultural milestone in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Niagara bridges generations and artistic styles, creating a piece that is both a tribute to the past and a relevant commentary on contemporary issues. The limited edition nature of the print adds to its cultural significance, offering a snapshot of a moment when two artists from different backgrounds and with distinct voices came together to create something unique and impactful. Moreover, the piece contributes to the ongoing discourse about the place of street art within the broader context of art history. By bringing street art aesthetics into fine art through silkscreen printing, Fairey and Niagara challenge traditional boundaries and invite a reevaluation of what constitutes art in the modern era. 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is an artwork to be enjoyed for its visual appeal and a conversation starter that encourages viewers to delve deeper into the stories behind the images. In essence, 'Tomorrow's Another Night' is a vibrant embodiment of the collaborative spirit that defines street pop art. Through this print, Shepard Fairey and Niagara offer a piece steeped in the ethos of street culture while maintaining a polished finesse that appeals to the fine art collector. The artwork is a testament to the power of artistic collaboration and the enduring allure of street-inspired art.

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

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

Tom Dula Black 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 Tom Dula Black AP 2012 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born Frank Shepard Fairey in the United States, created the Tom Dula Black silkscreen print in 2012 as part of his ongoing exploration of American folklore and historical narrative within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This Artist Proof edition is signed and marked AP, distinguishing it from the standard numbered run and identifying it as part of a smaller subset traditionally reserved by the artist. The hand-pulled silkscreen measures 18 x 24 inches and is printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper, a textured stock frequently used in Obey editions for its archival strength and vintage character. The work references the story of Thomas C. Dula, a former Confederate soldier convicted in 1866 for the murder of Laura Foster, a case later embedded in American folk music through a ballad popularized in the twentieth century by The Kingston Trio. Fairey’s interpretation situates this narrative within a broader visual examination of justice, myth, and cultural memory. Lonesome Tree Imagery in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The composition centers on a stark, leafless tree rendered in bold black linework against layered red and gold tonal gradients. The gnarled branches stretch outward across a desert-like landscape, while intricate ornamental textures and faded imagery subtly emerge in the background. A rope hangs from one branch, symbolizing the historical implications of execution without overt depiction. The word Lonesome appears at the base, reinforcing the solitary and reflective tone of the image. Fairey’s use of distressed overlays and decorative patterning echoes vintage poster design while maintaining the graphic clarity associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The restrained yet intense palette of crimson, ochre, and black heightens the emotional atmosphere and connects the work to Fairey’s broader visual language rooted in propaganda-inspired composition. Artist Proof Significance and Obey Historical Commentary Artist Proof editions carry particular importance in fine art printmaking, often representing early or reserved impressions from the print run and carrying enhanced collectibility. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, such AP markings underscore craftsmanship and direct artist involvement. The Tom Dula Black variant demonstrates how Fairey adapts a nineteenth-century American crime narrative into a contemporary silkscreen format, using symbolic landscape imagery rather than portraiture to communicate the story’s gravity. By merging archival textures, disciplined hand-pulled production, and culturally loaded symbolism, this 2012 Obey print stands as a thoughtful example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can reinterpret historical events through bold yet contemplative graphic storytelling.

Not Great Men 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered, Not Great Men Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 450 August 20, 201 The Not Great Men print was inspired by the Gang of Four song of the same name from their album “Entertainment”.. Gang of Four are a great band musically and lyrically with many of their songs tackling subjects like consumption, capitalism, obsession with power, exploitation, narcissism, and class structure. The song Not Great Men has long struck me as a wise indictment of the contradiction or paradox of leadership and power. It takes assertive, charismatic people with self-confidence to be leaders, but on the dark side, leaders are often power hungry, manipulative, and abusive of their power.

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.

Warning: Addictive- Green Limited Edition Silkscreen Skateboard deck art by street pop culture artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. I've been a big fan of Andy Howell's art and skateboarding since the late '80s, and I watched eagerly as he and his partners launched New Deal Skateboards in 1990. New Deal was groundbreaking not only because skaters creatively led it, but because Andy Howell's art and design almost instantly shifted the aesthetics and style of skateboarding from skulls and dragons to graffiti and hip-hop. New Deal was the first company primarily focused on street skating and street culture, and their smart, funny, ads celebrated their role as the "power to the people," "ear to the street" vanguard of skater-owned-and-run companies. Straight out of the gate New Deal set the tone for the '90s. -Shepard 2020 Warning Addictive Skate Deck. Numbered edition of 400. Signed by Shepard Fairey.

Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Democrat Propaganda Print of United States President Ronald Regan Holding Sign That Reads "Legislative Influence For Sale" like one side is innocent. "Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof" stands as a testament to the profound intersection of politics, pop art, and street aesthetics, epitomizing the essence of the genre through the lens of Shepard Fairey, a defining figure in the contemporary street art scene. Created in 2011, this 2-color, hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print on fine art paper captures not just the vibrancy and rawness of Fairey's visual language, but also a poignant commentary on the nature of political power and influence in the United States. Marked by its emblematic use of stark contrasts, the print features a depiction of the 40th United States President, Ronald Reagan, clutching a sign with the audacious declaration "Legislative Influence For Sale". Such a visual rhetoric draws attention to the controversial claims about money's role in shaping political outcomes, highlighting the nuances of the relationship between governance and monetary interests. At the same time, by juxtaposing Reagan – who often stands as a symbol of conservative ideals – with a sign suggesting political malfeasance, Fairey challenges the viewer to question and confront their preconceived notions about innocence and guilt in the political arena. In context, Shepard Fairey's artwork – often released under the OBEY moniker – has continually been at the vanguard of pushing the boundaries of street art, evolving it from mere visual spectacle to a medium that communicates pressing societal messages. This piece is no exception. Merging the populist overtones of street art with the iconographic representation reminiscent of pop art, Fairey's "Legislative Influence For Sale AP Artist Proof" is more than just an artwork. It's an embodiment of a time, a statement, and a call to awareness in a world where art and activism seamlessly intersect.

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.

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 Just a Minor Threat Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey The Just a Minor Threat silkscreen print is a 2023 collaboration between Shepard Fairey (OBEY) and legendary punk photographer Glen E. Friedman. Hand-pulled on cream Speckletone fine art paper, this 18 x 24 inch print was released as a signed and numbered limited edition of 550, bearing the signatures of both Fairey and Friedman. The work depicts the iconic Washington, D.C. hardcore punk band Minor Threat, fronted by Ian MacKaye, rendered through Fairey’s graphic lens and grounded in Friedman’s historic concert photography. Punk Energy, D.I.Y. Culture, and Visual Urgency The composition captures the raw intensity of a Minor Threat performance, placing Ian MacKaye front and center in a moment of confrontation and release, microphone clenched and voice projected outward. Surrounding band members and the tightly packed audience form a dense, kinetic backdrop that reinforces the communal force of hardcore shows. Fairey’s limited palette of black, white, and aggressive red heightens the sense of urgency and resistance, echoing the band’s uncompromising sound and message. The layered textures and high-contrast rendering preserve the grit of Friedman’s original imagery while translating it into a bold, poster-driven visual language rooted in punk flyers, protest graphics, and street art traditions. Legacy, Collaboration, and Cultural Impact This print celebrates more than a band; it honors the enduring influence of Minor Threat and the D.I.Y. ethos they helped define. For Fairey, Minor Threat and Dischord Records were formative forces that shaped his creative confidence, political awareness, and commitment to independent culture. Glen E. Friedman’s intimate access to the band provides an authenticity that elevates the collaboration beyond tribute into historical document. Just a Minor Threat stands as a convergence of music history, photography, and contemporary Pop Street Art, making it a highly significant collectible for fans of punk, Shepard Fairey’s OBEY body of work, and the broader legacy of underground culture that continues to inspire artists worldwide.

Endless Power Petrol Palace (Blue) 18 x 24 inches Edition of 350 June 13, 2019 "The “Endless Power Petrol Palace” poster is both a celebration and critique of the seductive graphic propaganda used for the petroleum industry. I designed this print to feel like a vintage ad celebrating the abundance of America and the bright future of the American Dream. Though oil is finite, our reliance on it is so extreme that the power wielded by those who control oil is virtually unlimited." -Shepard Fairey

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 Fuel 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 Unsinkable Consumption AP 2015 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey, born Frank Shepard Fairey in the United States, created Unsinkable Consumption in 2015 as part of his ongoing critique of environmental exploitation and unchecked consumer culture within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This Artist Proof edition is signed and marked AP, distinguishing it from the standard numbered run and identifying it as part of a smaller subset reserved by the artist. The hand-pulled silkscreen measures 18 x 24 inches and is printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper, a textured stock commonly used in Obey editions for its archival durability and vintage character. Fairey has consistently used bold iconography and propaganda inspired composition to address social and political themes, and this work reflects his direct engagement with industrial dependency and ecological consequence. Oil Symbolism and Industrial Critique in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The composition depicts a large ocean liner sinking into dark waters, visually referencing early twentieth century maritime disaster imagery while replacing the traditional cause with a broader commentary on oil consumption. Above the vessel, a red circular emblem frames a black oil derrick within a droplet shape, reinforcing petroleum as the central motif. The word Consume appears across the top, functioning as both directive and indictment. Fairey’s restrained palette of black, cream, and red heightens the graphic immediacy of the message, echoing historical propaganda posters while maintaining the clarity associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The distressed background textures and layered patterning add depth and archival resonance, strengthening the conceptual weight of the scene. Artist Proof Editions and Environmental Commentary Artist Proof prints hold special significance in fine art printmaking, often representing early impressions or reserved examples closely tied to the artist’s archive. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, AP editions reinforce craftsmanship and scarcity while preserving thematic urgency. Unsinkable Consumption demonstrates Fairey’s ability to merge historical visual language with contemporary environmental critique, transforming a familiar maritime silhouette into a symbol of systemic overconsumption. By combining disciplined hand-pulled silkscreen production with potent industrial imagery, this 2015 print stands as a direct and enduring example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork addresses ecological responsibility through bold graphic storytelling.

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.

Psychedelic Andre- Classic Red Obey Giant Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Shepard Fairey X John Van Hamersveld pop culture LSD artwork. "I first made this image in 1967, and then the poster came out in 1968. One day I sat down and started this drawing out of my style. I had been an art director at Capitol Records, and I hadn't been drawing very much. It was a whole new state I was in. But it was an opportunity to test my drawing and put it into a poster and have it published. It all came out great. It was a fantastic show. There were ads everywhere and people loved the poster. It just started to become a piece of history right away, much like The Endless Summer poster." - John Van Hamersveld "I became a fan of Hendrix after I exited my punk rock orthodoxy phase. I ended up gravitating towards John's image because it had that nod to psychedelia, without going so overboard in the baroque detail, that it remained iconic. This Hendrix image itself — along with a few other influences, like Barbara Kruger and Russian Constructivism — was a huge influence in how I was going to make work that had the ability to cut through the clutter of what's on the street and still have a recognizable style. When I was just making variations of the Andre on the different backgrounds, I was looking at a lot of psychedelic work, but John's piece really inspired me to make something that was a deviation from just playing it safe with the original Andre image. So John's Pinnacle Hendrix was sort of a gateway to the evolution of my entire Andre The Giant project. I can't really understate the importance of this image for me." - Shepard Fairey

Pandemonium Silkscreen Print by TOMO77 x Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2021 Signed by TOMO77 & Shepard Fairey & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "TOMO77 has documented a period marked by isolation and confusion, from the earliest anxious days of the pandemic through more than a year of political and social unrest. Amid this graphic testimony of uncertainty, uproar, and division, TOMO77 leaves us with one question: Where do we want to go from here?" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Pandemonium by TOMO77 x Shepard Fairey Pandemonium is a collaborative silkscreen print by French street artist TOMO77 and Shepard Fairey (OBEY), created as a visual response to the global instability of the pandemic era. The composition centers on a powerful, red, hammer-wielding figure set against an ornate, circular backdrop, evoking cycles of collapse, resistance, and reckoning. Drawing from protest graphics, mythic symbolism, and political poster design, the image confronts a world gripped by crisis while refusing to look away from its underlying causes. Visual Language and Symbolism The stark contrast of black, white, and red reinforces the urgency of the message. TOMO77’s raw, expressive mark-making collides with Shepard Fairey’s precise, graphic framing, resulting in a piece that feels both chaotic and controlled. The central figure suggests labor, struggle, and collective action, while the surrounding decorative elements echo historical propaganda, religious iconography, and revolutionary printmaking traditions. Together, they create a visual tension that mirrors the social, political, and psychological unrest of the period it documents. Edition Details and Cultural Context Hand-pulled on cream Speckletone fine art paper, Pandemonium is a 2021 signed and numbered limited edition of 300, bearing the signatures of both TOMO77 and Shepard Fairey. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, the print functions as both a standalone artwork and a historical artifact of a turbulent moment in contemporary culture. As Fairey notes, the piece ultimately poses an open-ended question to the viewer, challenging us to consider not just what we have lived through, but where we choose to go next.

Carga Fragile Mural 18-Color Lithograph Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Print on 270gsm BFK Rives Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 40x28 Fine Art Large Format Lithograph "Carga Frágil" Mural in São Paulo, Brazil. This 18-color lithograph, measuring 40 by 28 inches, is printed on BFK Rives 270g paper featuring deckled edges. Created at the historic Idem Studio in Paris using a Marinoni press, it is based on an original illustration inspired by a photograph captured by Jon Furlong. The piece is signed by the artist, Shepard Fairey, and is a numbered edition limited to 300 prints. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Greenpeace USA. Each print is accompanied by a digital certificate of authenticity provided by Versiart and features the Idem publishing chop in the lower left corner. The Idem Studio was established within a 15,000-square-foot, two-story workshop at 49 rue de Montparnasse. Originally built in 1881 by printer Eugene Dufrenoy, the workshop was designed to house his lithographic presses. In its early days, the facility relied on 19th-century flat machines powered by belt-driven propeller shafts and a steam boiler. The space was later occupied by the Michard Printing Company, which specialized in crafting vibrant, special edition maps. In 1976, Fernand Mourlot acquired the workshop and transformed it into a fine art printshop. Throughout its history, the workshop has seen a revival of lithography, with craftsmen collaborating closely with esteemed artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall. Today, the printshop is dedicated to contemporary artists like Sophie Calle, JR, William Kentridge, David Lynch, Paul McCarthy, and Raymond Pettibon. Lithographs at Idem Studio are created by drawing an image on a flat stone or transferring it onto aluminum plates. The image is then treated with water and an oil-based ink that is rolled across the surface. Paper is placed atop the matrix and run through a press, transferring the ink onto the paper to form the final lithograph. The process results in a rich, dense layer of ink, producing an exceptional final piece. Now known as Idem, the Mourlot company stands as one of the oldest printing houses still utilizing traditional lithography techniques.
