New Clear Power 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 350 Artwork Size 18x24 "New Clear Power, my first solo art show in Germany (@amuseum_Munich) addresses systems, forms, and notions of power that we must all carefully consider as we pursue our vision for an ideal personal and collective future. In my visual strategy, I choose colors, patterns, and icons that powerfully engage the viewer, and I write the text for my pieces using words that have the power of clear and concise communication. The concept of power is almost always present in my art. Forms of power addressed in the subject matter of New Clear Power include abuse of power, power concentrated under capitalism, renewable power, political power, the power of creativity, power over information, and the power of controlling narrative." -Shepard Fairey "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a work of art by the renowned American street artist Shepard Fairey, also known by his moniker, OBEY. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is a limited edition artwork created with Fairey's signature silkscreen printing technique. Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing, is a process that involves applying layers of ink through a mesh screen to create an image on various surfaces. Shepard Fairey frequently uses this method to create his distinctive, bold, and highly detailed artworks. Fairey's work often explores political and social themes, with powerful imagery and messages to provoke thought and discussion. The "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" incorporates similar themes and is intended to raise awareness about a specific issue or idea. Since the title plays with the words "New Clear Power" (sounds like "Nuclear Power"), it may address topics such as the use of nuclear energy, its potential benefits, and its risks to society and the environment. The artwork probably features Fairey's recognizable style, which typically combines elements of graphic design, illustration, and street art. As with many of Fairey's limited edition prints, the "New Clear Power Silkscreen Print" is highly sought after by art collectors and fans of the artist's work.

Cut it Up Do it Yourself 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey x Beyond The Streets Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Print Size 18x24 May 8, 2018 "ABOUT The Cut it Up – Do it Yourself print is an iteration of my Obey Icon Face inspired by my history of using an X-acto knife to create designs, make collages, cut spray-paint stencils, and cut illustrations from Rubylith (a graphic art and screen printing film). Many of my well-known images, including the Obey Icon Face, were created using an X-acto, a marker, a photocopier, and cut and paste techniques before I knew how to use a computer. 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

AP Artist Proof 2013 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Given As Christmas Gift To Friends & Family of Artist. Red Lotus Flower & Star Obey Andre The Giant Logo. Shepard Fairey, globally recognized for his OBEY campaign, showcases his talents again with his "Flower Power Red AP" silkscreen print, a symbolic representation of his signature style meshed with socio-political undertones. This hand-pulled screen print, meticulously crafted on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, belongs to a series of artist proofs from 2013. Characteristic of Fairey's dedication to detail and passion for unique designs, artist proofs are initial impressions made by the artist during the creative process, ensuring the final product's fidelity to their vision. These proofs, while seldom made available for public purchase, are deeply personal and often reserved for those closest to the artist. Such is the case with the "Flower Power Red AP," given as a treasured Christmas gift to friends and family. The artwork itself stands as a juxtaposition of vibrant aesthetics and profound symbolism. Dominated by the hues of fiery red, it features a lotus flower—a traditional symbol of purity and rebirth—surrounded by the iconic star from the OBEY campaign and the unmistakable Andre the Giant logo. While street art often blends subversive elements with the contemporary, Fairey's choice of symbols is a testament to his penchant for evoking thought and discourse. Positioned at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "Flower Power Red AP" is not just a testament to Fairey's unparalleled skill but also an encapsulation of the rebellious spirit and critique of popular culture.

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

While Supplies Last 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 24x12 “The “While Supplies Last” print is a combination of several approaches to image making that I enjoy, and also find versatile and impactful. I have worked in modular ways utilizing repetition for both practical and conceptual reasons. I like the soothing repetition of patterns while I also see them as a pleasing decorative device to balance the more confrontational nature of some of my messages. Flowers have been consistent motifs in my work as symbols of positive growth and harmony. Humor is also a way I deliver challenging statements. “While Supplies Last” employs all of those approaches to basically convey the idea that things like flowers that we mostly take for granted will be sorely missed when the scorched planet will no longer grow them. Of course, the concept extends much further than just flowers, but flowers are a pretty universally relatable symbol. Whatever you treasure from nature, protect it so their supply is renewable. A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace USA to support its efforts to combat climate change and environmental recklessness.” -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.”

Pattern of Corruption Black Gold AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Cleon Peterson Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 2-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Repeating Image of Tribal Man With Bloody Knife and Lotus Flower Vine Pattern Silkscreen "Cleon Peterson and I recently collaborated on a mural in Miami’s Wynwood district and were happy enough with the end result to decide to make some limited edition screen prints inspired by the mural. Cleon and I both deal with the persistent themes of the fragility of society, human savagery, and corruption in our work. The image has a dichotomy in its hypnotic classical floral pattern with sinister elements woven into it, which caution the viewer to look deeper than an appealing surface presentation." - SHepard Fairey "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is a striking representation of the collaboration between two giants of the street art world, Shepard Fairey, best known for his OBEY campaign, and Cleon Peterson. As an AP Silkscreen print, this piece emphasizes the hand-crafted nature of their work, a detail that resonates deeply with enthusiasts of street and pop art. Shepard Fairey's iconic art has always challenged societal norms, provoking viewers to consider underlying complexities and contradictions present in contemporary society. Cleon Peterson, with his depictions of chaotic human interactions, similarly forces viewers to grapple with the darker underbelly of humanity. The inspiration behind this piece emerged from the mural the duo worked on together in Miami’s Wynwood district, a place renowned for its vibrant street art scene. It's evident in the AP Silkscreen print how their artistic styles and messages seamlessly intertwine. The meticulous detail of a tribal man brandishing a bloody knife juxtaposed with the lotus flower vine pattern invites introspection on the duality of human nature. The combination of tribal motifs with classical floral patterns not only alludes to a blending of the traditional with the contemporary but also serves as a cautionary tale. The surface beauty of the design may lure the viewer in, but as Fairey himself mentioned, the sinister undertones remind us to delve deeper and question the allure. A limited-edition release, with only 150 prints available, the artwork has achieved heightened significance among collectors and enthusiasts. The hand-pulled, two-color screen print on fine art paper stands as a testament to the dedication of the artists to their craft. The "Pattern of Corruption Black Gold" is not merely an artwork; it's a poignant commentary on society's fragility and the ever-present themes of corruption and human savagery, themes that both Fairey and Peterson have consistently explored in their works.

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

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.

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

The High Cost Of Free Speech Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Speckled Cream Paper by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Punk rock ignited a lot of creative and philosophical things for me, and punk principles continuously remind me that speaking truth to power and questioning authority is paramount in life. The Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks are just a few of the groups that referenced injustices such as police brutality and abuse of power in their songs, inspiring me to speak out about the same subjects through my art. I have made a lot of lasting friendships through punk rock and its cultural offshoots. One of those friends is Sean Bonner, who began ordering my prints in the ’90s while he was art director for punk label Victory Records.

David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a rare collaborative work created by Shepard Fairey, widely known as OBEY, and stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this Artist Proof edition is signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered release of 100. Artist Proofs carry additional significance within the art world due to their limited availability and direct association with the artists’ approval process, making this piece especially sought after by collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Imagery and Symbolic Tension This print features Michelangelo’s classical David, a symbol of Renaissance ideals of beauty, youth, and heroism, reimagined with a modern twist: he holds a machine gun. The stark juxtaposition between timeless humanist ideals and contemporary instruments of war creates a powerful critique of violence and the ways cultural icons are repurposed to reflect current anxieties. Set against a graffiti-covered urban backdrop, the figure embodies the collision between high art traditions and street-level social commentary. The work challenges viewers to consider how ideals of strength and beauty are corrupted when reframed within the context of militarization. Collaboration Across Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is often credited as the father of stencil graffiti, influencing countless artists with his Paris-based interventions since the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically resonant prints, later achieving international acclaim with his Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their joint creation of David with Machine Gun demonstrates how two generations of artists from different cultural backgrounds can merge their practices to create a unified message. It serves as both homage to classical art and a critique of the modern world. Rarity and Collectible Importance Artist Proof editions such as this one are rarer than the main run, typically reserved for the artists themselves or for key collaborators. Marked “AP” and carrying the signatures of both Fairey and Blek le Rat, this print embodies both historical and artistic value. Beyond its scarcity, the work is a striking representation of how street artists reinterpret cultural symbols to confront pressing issues like war and societal decay. The David with Machine Gun AP silkscreen stands as a prime example of the fusion of fine art history and modern protest through the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

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.

This print captures the likeness of Mould, known for his groundbreaking work with bands Hüsker Dü, Sugar, and The Jacks, and the essence of his impact on the hardcore/indie genres. Fairey's acknowledgment of Mould's legacy, from the seminal album "Zen Arcade" to "Flip Your Wig" and beyond, underscores the print's importance as a piece of cultural history. Fairey, who has a storied history of integrating his art with social commentary and the music industry, uses this print to honor a musician who has been pivotal in shaping the landscape of modern American indie music. Bob Mould and the Evolution of American Indie Music in Visual Art Bob Mould's journey through the evolution of American indie music is intricately woven into the fabric of this silkscreen print. Shepard Fairey's artistic rendering goes beyond mere portraiture; it is a symbolic representation of the era that saw bands like Sonic Youth, The Pixies, and Nirvana reshape the musical landscape, with Mould and Hüsker Dü leading the charge. As a fan who found inspiration in his youth's raw and passionate soundtracks, Fairey's connection to Mold's music informs the artwork's intimate and reverent portrayal. The print is a visual testament to Mould's ongoing relevance, with Fairey highlighting the musician's solo works like "District Line." The piece symbolizes the confluence between street pop art and the visceral energy of the music that often serves as its soundtrack.

Moon Over Biloxi- White 1-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. White Variant Signed & Numbered Moon Over Biloxi Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 200 July 27, 2010. "The title of this print “Moon Over Biloxi” is a tribute to the Dead Kennedy’s song “Moon Over Marin”. In 1984 I picked up maybe my 4th punk record which was the 2nd Dead Kennedy’s album “Plastic Surgery Disasters”. The album is a great listen all the way through and includes some blistering tunes like “Riot” and “Bleed For Me” laced with social commentary. The surprise song though is “Moon Over Marin”… detractors have called it the Dead Kennedy’s “U2” song, but I disagree. “Moon Over Marin” is more melodic than most DK, but juxtaposed with the darkness of the lyrics, the song evokes a powerful sense of existential melancholy. I think the concept that struck me, and stuck with me, is that our disrespect of each other and the planet may doom us, but things will continue without us. I think it is healthy to recognize impermanence, but also to appreciate the value of the ephemeral. Moonlight, real or electric, will probably be around, but what it will be casting light on is the real question. There will always be a moon over Biloxi." -Shepard

Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 12x24 Silkscreen Print "This print, “Sub-Standard,” is a comment on the relationship between corporate greed, fossil fuels, and the warming of the planet and collapsing ecosystems. Standard operating, pushed by players like Standard Oil and its many offshoots, should be redefined as sub-standard. If we want to maintain the standard of health our planet needs to avoid catastrophe, we can’t allow big oil to put profits before the planet and profits before people (as well as many other threatened species). Keep in mind that big oil, which is already very profitable, is subsidized by you, the taxpayer, for up to $50 billion per year. In contrast, renewable energy sources are subsidized for only a quarter of that amount. We need to push for change. A portion of proceeds from this print goes to Greenpeace USA‘s efforts to fight for a healthy planet.⁠" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The silkscreen print titled "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey, part of his OBEY series, is a compelling piece of contemporary art that casts a critical eye on the pressing issue of environmental degradation as it relates to corporate influence and fossil fuel dependency. Limited to a release of 550 signed and numbered editions, the artwork is a bold statement in both form and substance, pulling together the aesthetics of pop, street, and graffiti art onto a cream speckletone fine art paper. Measuring 12x24 inches, each hand-pulled 5-color print stands as a testament to Fairey's technical skill and his commitment to social commentary. Shepard Fairey, a prominent figure in the world of pop culture and street art, uses his medium to challenge the status quo and incite thought about pressing global issues. "Sub-Standard" specifically targets the consequences of the fossil fuel industry's actions on climate change and ecological destruction. Fairey's reference to Standard Oil and its successors points to a legacy of environmental policy that prioritizes profit over the planet's health, indicating a dire need for change in corporate practices. The artwork employs powerful symbolism, with the juxtaposition of an industrial motif against a backdrop that signifies the natural world in distress, reflecting Fairey's narrative about the conflict between economic interests and environmental stewardship. A significant aspect of this artwork is its activism component. A portion of the proceeds from "Sub-Standard" is directed towards Greenpeace USA, funding the organization's efforts to combat environmental harm and promote sustainability. This financial support aligns with the artwork's message, creating a direct link between art, activism, and tangible support for ecological well-being. Fairey's choice to highlight the discrepancy between subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy sources in his statement further amplifies the print's call to action, advocating for a reevaluation of where public funds are invested in the context of long-term planetary health. In the landscape of modern art, "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey stands out as a piece that not only captures the aesthetic edge of the OBEY art movement but also embodies a deep social and environmental consciousness, driving the conversation forward in the realm of art activism.

Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

This image is titled ‘Vote! Stop Fascism.’ The proceeds will go into printing more posters and also a massive sticker run to be given out in cities all across the country. Let’s ban together to Stop Fascism and make sure that we get Trump out of power! Thanks.” -Ernesto Yerena The realm of contemporary art has often been a platform for political expression, especially in genres like pop art, street art, and graffiti art. One striking example that stands out from recent times is the "Vota! Alto Al Fascismo" artwork, a hand-pulled 4-color silkscreen print on fine art paper. This piece is the brainchild of two phenomenal artists, Shepard Fairey of the Obey fame, and Ernesto Yerena Montejano from Hecho Con Ganas. Both artists are renowned for their bold stances and vibrant portrayals of socio-political issues, and this particular piece showcases their combined brilliance. Released in 2020, the artwork is not just a statement piece but a testament to the urgency and significance of the message it conveys. Limited to an edition of 450, each artwork is meticulously signed by both Shepard and Ernesto, indicating their personal commitment to the cause it represents. The dimensions of 18x24 make it a conspicuous piece, ensuring that the message is both seen and felt. Drawing inspiration from a decade-old "We Are Human" poster, this modern rendition emphasizes the importance of voting and the dire need to halt the rise of fascism. Ernesto's comment further illustrates the core motive behind this collaboration, shedding light on the broader aim of disseminating the message across cities nationwide through posters and stickers. Engaging, evocative, and ever-relevant, the "Vota! Alto Al Fascismo" artwork seamlessly blends the boundaries between art and activism. As pop art and street art evolve, such pieces remain a testament to their profound impact on society, urging viewers to take action and be part of a larger movement.

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.

Warning: Addictive- Blue Limited Edition Silkscreen Skateboard deck art by street pop culture artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. Signed on Front With Marker. Warning Addictive Skate Deck. Numbered edition of 400. Signed by Shepard Fairey. 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

Styles Change Style Endures- Magenta 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 14.5 inches by 19 inches Edition of 115 June 18, 2020 Skateboarding saved my life! As both an activity and culture, skateboarding blew the doors open for me to see how creativity, fearlessness, independence, and style could let me paint my own story. To paraphrase Charles Bukowski, everything, worth saying or doing, dull or dangerous, is better with style. I learned the importance of style from skateboarding but I apply style to my art and pretty much anything else I can. My friend Blaize Blouin, the only pro skater from Charleston, S.C., where I grew up, used to say “trendy tricks come and go, but the need for style is constant”. When I picked up Hugh Holland’s Silver Skate 70’s book I was enthralled by all of the photos, but especially gripped by the shot of an unknown kid doing a stylish backside carve at the Kenter Canyon School banks in 1976. -Shepard Fairey

Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Ideals Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Boxer Muhammad Ali Face As Young Man in A Suit. "Based on an incredible photo by Howard Bingham provided by his son Dustin, I wanted to emphasize Ali's role as an outspoken citizen and activist. Ali was a civil rights activist, a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, a philanthropist, and a U.N. Messenger of Peace. I admire that Ali stood up for what he believed even when he potentially faced jail and the end of his boxing career. The Chestnut St. YMCA, where we painted the Ali mural, is blocks from Ali's childhood school and a place he frequented in his youth. I'm very grateful to the YMCA for providing an incredible wall with an authentic connection to Ali's life. A project of this magnitude can't come to fruition without many people collaborating generously." -Shepard Fairey. Few names in pop and street art have achieved as much recognition and influence as Shepard Fairey, the creative force behind the OBEY brand. Fairey's "Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Ideals" silkscreen print is a testament to his craftsmanship as an artist and his dedication to spotlighting iconic figures with profound cultural significance. Drawing inspiration from a striking photograph by Howard Bingham, Fairey's depiction of a young Muhammad Ali in a suit is a compelling reflection of the boxer's legacy beyond the ring. This piece doesn't just highlight Ali as a world-class athlete but as a man deeply embedded in the socio-political issues of his time. Ali's vehement opposition to the Vietnam War, his role in the civil rights movement, and his later endeavors as a philanthropist and U.N. Messenger of Peace symbolize a life of purpose and conviction. In his tribute, Fairey magnifies these ideals, portraying Ali as a boxing legend and an activist willing to jeopardize his career and personal freedom for his beliefs. The choice of venue for the mural, the Chestnut St. YMCA, holds a poignant significance. Located blocks from Ali's childhood school and a regular spot for the young boxer, the YMCA wall is an authentic canvas, connecting Ali's formative years with his enduring legacy. Through this artwork, Fairey's intricate detailing, combined with his nuanced understanding of Ali's life, elevates the narrative of street and pop art. It underscores the potential of this medium to not only captivate visually but to instigate reflection on the profound impact of its subjects on history and culture.

Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Hi-Fi AP by Shepard Fairey: A Tribute to Punk and Graffiti Pop Street Art The Hi-Fi Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a bold exploration of the intersection between music, rebellion, and Street Pop Art.

A leopard-print border adds texture and contrast, reflecting the bold, unapologetic attitude associated with punk culture. Fairey’s meticulous use of line work and negative space emphasizes the dynamic interplay between the central figure and the surrounding design elements, creating a visually arresting composition. The Influence of Music on Shepard Fairey’s Art Shepard Fairey has often credited music as one of the most significant influences in his artistic journey. Hi-Fi AP exemplifies his ability to channel the spirit and energy of music into visual form. The design draws heavily on the DIY ethos of punk rock, where album covers and merchandise served as canvases for artistic expression. Fairey’s work reflects this connection by incorporating elements that evoke the tactile and immediate qualities of vinyl records, zines, and handmade posters. The leopard-print motif and gritty typography reinforce the rebellious aesthetic of punk, while the inclusion of track titles creates a narrative that connects music to the emotions and experiences it represents. Fairey’s ability to encapsulate the cultural significance of music in his work highlights his deep understanding of its role as a unifying force. Hi-Fi AP is not just a piece of art; it is a visual celebration of the energy, individuality, and community that music fosters. The Craft of Silkscreen Printing The silkscreen printing process used for Hi-Fi AP is a testament to Shepard Fairey’s dedication to his craft. Each print is meticulously hand-pulled, allowing for a high level of precision and detail. The one-color design emphasizes the bold contrasts and sharp lines that define Fairey’s style. Printed on fine art paper, the piece achieves a refined finish that enhances its visual and tactile appeal. As an Artist Proof, this print holds a special significance within the edition, often representing the artist’s experimentation and refinement of the design. The choice of silkscreen printing aligns with Fairey’s roots in graffiti and street art, where stencils and hand-pulled prints are integral to the medium. This traditional approach, combined with modern graphic sensibilities, makes Hi-Fi AP a compelling example of contemporary Street Pop Art. Shepard Fairey: Elevating Graffiti Pop Street Art Shepard Fairey has become a pivotal figure in the evolution of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. His ability to blend bold graphic elements with cultural commentary has established him as a voice for individuality and social awareness. Hi-Fi AP reflects his commitment to exploring the intersections of music, art, and activism, creating pieces that resonate with audiences on multiple levels. Through works like Hi-Fi AP, Fairey demonstrates the enduring influence of punk culture and its ability to inspire new forms of artistic expression.

Moonage Daydream 5-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. 2022 Shepard Fairey Numbered Limited Edition of TBD 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. "David Bowie is one of my favorite musicians not only because so many of his songs possess magic, but also because he was creatively fearless and perpetually collaborative. I first discovered David Bowie in 1983 when his Let’s Dance album came out, and its hits like “Let’s Dance,” “China Girl,” and “Modern Love” were getting radio play. I became a die-hard Bowie fan once I picked up Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars at a flea market a few years later. Ziggy Stardust is one of my favorite albums ever. It makes sense that it was Bowie’s breakthrough album, not just because his newly adopted androgynous glam image was provocative and mesmerizing, but because the songs on the album are incredible! At first, my favorites were obvious rockers like “Suffragette City” and “Ziggy Stardust,” but over the years, folkier songs like “Soul Love” and “Starman” really grew on me. It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite Bowie song from Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, much less Bowie’s entire catalog, but if I had to, I’d pick “Moonage Daydream.” It has Mick Ronson’s rocking guitar and also features unexpected instrumentation, including piano, strings, sax, and flute, which makes it both tough and pretty. I love the lyric, “don’t fake it baby… lay the real thing on me,” and all the lyrics have a sci-fi hipster coolness to them. “Moonage Daydream” is powerful, beautiful, hypnotic, hip, and a great indication of Bowie’s vision to push boundaries with his art. For this “Moonage Daydream” print image, I was able to reference outtakes from the Ziggy cover shoot, one of which I thought, with a few artistic liberties taken, could become a great portrait illustration. Bowie was incredibly photogenic, which yielded so many glorious images of him, and makes it a challenge to create a new visage that stands with the rest of his most iconic portraits. It is very meaningful for me to have the opportunity to craft my articulation of one of my favorite artists ever, from possibly the era of his peak creative genius. It is an honor to contribute in a small way to David Bowie’s visual legacy. –Shepard is one of my favorite musicians not only because so many of his songs possess magic, but also because he was creatively fearless and perpetually collaborative.

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

The mural's vibrant imagery and compelling iconography draw on the visual language of street pop art and graffiti. At the same time, the lithograph print extends the mural's reach from the streets of Austin to the global art community. Intersecting Art and Activism in Public Spaces The intersection of art and activism is vividly presented in "The Beauty of Liberty & Equality" mural. Fairey and Chevrier harness the visual potency of street pop art to communicate and inspire dialogue around the centennial of the women's suffrage movement. Their collaboration is a visual narrative commemorating the historical fight for women's voting rights and reflecting on its significance in today's ongoing struggle for gender equality. The mural becomes more than just an art piece; it is a historical marker and a reflective mirror of society's progress and the remaining challenges. This Austin mural and its corresponding lithograph print embody the core values of street pop art and graffiti artwork by merging aesthetics with a message that resonates on a societal level. The artists utilize their platforms to amplify voices and themes that are often marginalized, demonstrating the power of public art to spark change and provoke thought. "The Beauty of Liberty & Equality" mural by Shepard Fairey and Sandra Chevrier, captured in print by Jon Furlong, is an iconic piece of street pop art that transcends its medium to become a beacon of historical awareness and social commentary. The limited edition lithograph print is a collectible item and a piece of cultural heritage that continues to disseminate the ideals of liberty and equality through the universal language of art.

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.

My first introduction to them was when I stalked them backstage at Coachella and offered to create art for them if they ever needed it… to my surprise, they knew my work already and decided to take me up on my offer. My first project with Interpol was in 2004, when I created art to follow up their debut album, “Antics.” Ten years later, in 2014, I was approached with another opportunity to create a print and paint a mural for their fifth studio album, “El Pintor.” I’m excited to announce that I’ll be releasing a new print that I created in honor of their upcoming show in New York at Madison Square Garden" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Interpol NYC Calling" is a silkscreen print that pays homage to the band Interpol, an act close to the artist's heart.

The print is an example of how street pop art and graffiti artwork intersect with other cultural phenomena, bridging the gap between visual art and music. Fairey's iconic style, characterized by bold lines, a striking color palette, and politically charged imagery, is evident in this print.

Unsinkable Consumption 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 2015 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Sinking Titanic Style Cruise Liner Ship Sinking Cause of "Oil."

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.

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

Putin’s Ashes is a beautiful, haunting, evocative video and music piece. In working on a visual for Nadya’s show at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, I illustrated from video stills and imagery that Nadya provided in an attempt to encapsulate the powerful aesthetics of Pussy Riot and the narrative of the music video piece.
